Instructions
8-quart Instant Pot:
- Add beer, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bottom. Add all of the Marinaded Chunked Pork (including liquid) and mix into the liquid. Set the instant pot on high pressure for 45 minutes (make sure "keep warm" function is off if you want it to naturally release right away).
- Once the timer rings after 45 minutes, allow it to continue to naturally release the steam for about 15 minutes before using the quick pressure release. (Read this if you donβt understand natural release vs. quick release.) Once pork is ready, remove the chunks and place into a large bowl and shred with two forks. Add about 1/3 cup of the liquid from the instant pot to the shredded pork. Taste and season with more salt. Reserve 2/3 Carnitas for Carnitas Crunchwrap and Peached Carnitas Taco Salad.
- After the instant pot rings at 45 minutes or once slow cooking has almost finished, in a bowl add the black beans with cumin, salt, lime juice from half a lime, pepper and cook in the microwave until well heated, usually 4-5 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt if you like. Reserve 1/2 black beans for Carnitas Peach Salsa Burritos.
- Warm tortillas for about 30 seconds each on both sides in a large skillet on the stove top over medium heat. Set on a plate with a dish cloth and wrap them to stay warm.
- Once the black beans are cooked, add the leftover rice to the microwave (cover with a wet paper towels to help keep it moist) and warm for a few minutes.
- To make the burritos, add the shredded cheese, rice, shredded pork, Sweet Peach Salsa (salt it), Cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and Chipotle Sauce. Wrap the tortillas into a burrito (skip to :11 and watch this video if you need help wrapping) and wrap in aluminum foil if you want to keep the burrito tight.
- Serve with black beans, Green onions, and avocado on the side.
Slow Cooker:
- To a large slow cooker, add beer, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bottom. Add all of the Marinaded Chunked Pork (including liquid) and mix into the liquid. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
- Remove pork when it's done and is falling apart and shreds easily with a fork. Add about 1/3 cup of the liquid from the instant pot to the shredded pork. Taste and season with more salt. Reserve 2/3 Carnitas for Carnitas Crunchwrap and Peached Carnitas Taco Salad.
