Instant Pot Pulled Pork Fajitas
Ingredients:
2-4 lbs. Pork Tenderloin
3 tsp. Fajita Seasoning
2 tsp. Coconut Sugar
1 Lime
1/2 c. Freshly Squeeze Orange Juice
Fajita Seasoning
3 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. granulated garlic
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. Italian seasoning blend
Directions:
Cut Pork Tenderloin into 4-5 even pieces
Combine Fajita Seasoning & Coconut Sugar then coat the pork tenderloin (this can be done all in the instant pot for easy clean up).
Squeeze juice of 1 lime over the pork, then place the lime into instant pot (face the pulp side down).
Pour 1/2 cup of orange juice into the pot
Cook in Instant Pot on high pressure, manual, 40 minutes.
Let pressure naturally release, shred/pull pork apart in separate serving bowl.
Serving/Pairing Ideas:
organic white rice
coconut flour wraps
organic whole wheat wraps
sauteed peppers and onions
pickled onions
raw, red cabbage sauerkraut
shredded broccoli slaw
fresh grape tomatoes
fresh avocado
raw shredded cheddar cheese
organic sour cream
organic fresh salsa
fresh cilantro or parsley
Notes/Variations:
If you'd like the pork to be crispier, you may opt to add the shredded pork to a baking sheet and broil on 500F for 5 minutes.
You can add 1-2 tbsp. of BBQ sauce for more flavor while broiling (or just more sea salt and fresh lime juice).
There will be leftover juices in the instant pot, you can add 1 tbsp of honey and cook it down over stovetop for a thick sauce to top over pork.
You can replace the orange juice with 1 fresh orange and 1/2 cup water.
If you do not have an InstantPot, you can use the crockpot: cook on high for 6-8 hours.
*Please use organic and natural ingredients whenever possible.
