Easy 5-ingredient Instant Pot spicy shredded pork ready in 30 minutes. Use it for tacos, nachos, or Mexican cornbread casseroles for a fast, flavorful meal.
Using the sauté setting, brown the pork in the Instant Pot if desired for extra flavor. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat, coating all sides so the spices begin to stick and flavor the pork.
Add the chunky salsa, drained green chiles, and water or broth to the pot. Use a wooden spoon or tongs to gently toss everything together, helping the seasoning dissolve evenly into the cooking liquid.
Secure the Instant Pot lid and move the valve to the sealing position. Select the manual pressure cook setting and set the timer for 12 minutes, allowing the pork to cook under pressure until tender.
Let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then carefully vent. Transfer pork to a tray, pour drippings over it, and rest 15–20 minutes before shredding and serving in tacos, bowls, or casseroles.
