Shredded Pork Taco Filling

Shredded Pork Taco Filling

This amalgamation of recipes produces a very mild shredded pork taco filling: tasty, but not as intensely Mexican as one might prefer. I suggest using this as a basis and adapting to suit with the addition of various peppers, sauces, spices, etc. The true beauty of this recipe is that it can be made in a pressure cooker in about an hour. Serve in corn or flour tortillas.

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ large white onion, cut into large chunks

Directions

Step 1
Combine the garlic powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Thoroughly rub the spice mixture over the pork.

Step 2
Place the roast in a pressure cooker with the beef broth, bay leaves, and onion over medium-high heat. Seal the cooker, and bring to full pressure; reduce the heat to maintain high pressure, and cook for 45 minutes.

Step 3
Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. Transfer the pork to a serving bowl and shred the meat with forks.
