Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Thoroughly rub the spice mixture all over the pork roast, ensuring an even coating. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Place the seasoned roast in a pressure cooker. Pour beef broth around the roast. Add the onion chunks and bay leaves. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Close the pressure cooker securely and place the pressure regulator over the vent according to the manufacturer's instructions. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Heat over medium-high heat until the cooker reaches full pressure, indicated by a steady stream of steam and a whistling sound. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Reduce heat to maintain high pressure, ensuring the regulator is gently rocking. Cook for 45 minutes.

07

Step

Remove from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally according to the manufacturer's instructions. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Once the pressure is fully released, unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the pork roast to a serving bowl.

09

Step

Using two forks, shred the pork into tender, juicy strands. (10 minutes)

Feel free to customize the spice blend to your liking. Consider adding smoked paprika, chili powder, or a pinch of cinnamon for added depth.
For a richer flavor, sear the pork roast in a skillet before adding it to the pressure cooker.
Serve the shredded pork in warm corn or flour tortillas with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.
