This is one of my favorite recipes! It's crazy good, so you must try this! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can use a crockpot and just slow cook it for 4 hours. Send to your friends so they can try this fantastic & super easy recipe too!

Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the mojo sauce by whisking all ingredients together (beer/chicken stock, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, orange juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, dry mustard, onion powder, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper). 2. Season pork chunks on all sides with salt and pepper. 3. Click the “Saute” setting on the Instant Pot. Add oil and the pork then sear until the pork is browned on all sides. Press “Cancel” to turn off the heat. 4. Pour in the mojo sauce, and toss to combine. Close lid securely and set vent to “Sealing”. 5. Press “Meat” then adjust until time reads 30 minutes. Cook. Carefully turn the vent to “Venting”, to release pressure when the cook time is up. Then remove the lid. 6. Turn on the oven broiler to High. 7. Shred the pork then transfer it to a large baking sheet. Spoon about a third of the leftover juices evenly on top of the pork. Then broil for 5 minutes, or until the edges of the pork begin browning and crisping up. Serve it stuffed in poblano peppers, on top of a salad, rice bowl or tacos.
