Instant Pot Pork Tacos

These Instant Pot Pork Tacos are packed with flavor and spice and cooking them in the Instant Pot ensures they are fall apart tender.  Load them up with avocado, red onion, tomatoes, lime and avocado crema.  {gluten free, dairy free}

I continue to be obsessed with my Instant Pot.  It’s really changing the way I make dinner and I find myself using it at least a couple of times per week like this Easy Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup and this Instant Pot Lentil Soup.

I love that I can get that slow cooked flavor without slow cooking something for six hours.  (No offense slow cooker!)

Kids can be incredibly picky so I often have to modify recipes to make them more appealing to them.  It’s so frustrating sometimes!  They don’t like pulled pork that has a sauce on it… seriously?!  So when I make pulled pork I always keep the barbecue sauce on the side. 😆

To get a weeknight win with all family members, I made these Instant Pot Pork Tacos with spices and no sauce.  I added apple cider vinegar and spices and that’s about it.

When you add all the toppings, and the avocado crema it’s over the top good.

It’s perfect for make-ahead meal prep.  If you have this in your fridge you can eat it all week in…

• tostadas
• on a sweet potato
• in a salad
• in a grain bowl
• with your scrambled eggs and avocado
• on a flatbread
• on a pizza
• add to pasta
• on nachos
• on a grilled cheese 😆

These Instant Pot Pork Tacos are an awesome back pocket meal that you want to keep at the ready.  Buy several tenderloins when they are on sale and all the rest of the items are pantry staples.

I think you are going to love these Instant Pot Pork Tacos because they are…

• made with pantry staples
• family friendly
• great for meal prep or leftovers
• gluten free, dairy free
• keto, paleo, whole 30 without the tortillas and toppings
• wholesome
• full of flavor!

Ingredients

• 1.25 pork tenderloin (2 pieces)
• 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp paprika
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Avocado Crema

• 1 avocado
• 1/4 cup whole greek yogurt, plain
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Mix all spices in a small bowl and rub all over both pieces of pork being sure to press those spices in.

2. Heat the Instant Pot to high and add apple cider vinegar.  Carefully place all pork into pot.  Cut them in half if necessary.

3. Set Instant Pot to cook on high for 30 minutes in the sealed position.  When timer goes off let the pressure release naturally.  (If you prefer more flavor you can saute the pork first.)  

4. Carefully remove lid, remove pork and shred with two forks.  

5. This pork has good flavor but you don't get a sauce.  My kids like it this way then I can add salsa and toppings as needed.  

6. Serve on a corn tortilla with lime juice, cojita cheese, avocado, cilantro, red onion and jalapenos.  

7. For avocado crema, mix all ingredients in a blender.  Serve on top of tacos.
