Instructions
- Season pork pieces on all sides using entire packet of seasoning.
- Set InstaPot to saute mode, and add oil. Working in batches as needed, add seasoned pork pieces and cook undisturbed for two minutes on at least 2 sides. When all pieces are browned, add sliced onion, water, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
- Seal InstaPot and set to cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. Allow for natural release for 5 minutes, and then carefully use the quick release method for any remaining pressure.
- Use tongs to remove pork pieces to a large bowl and use two forks to shred pork. Reserve cooking juices for broiling step.
- When ready to serve, heat broiler to high. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, spread shredded pork and pineapple chunks onto a baking sheet and spoon 1 cup reserved cooking juices over. Broil for 5-10 minutes or until most liquid has evaporated and pork and pineapple are browned and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite taco toppings.
