Tacos Al Pastor

2-3 pounds of boneless pork shoulder cubed
1/4 cup Guajillo, New Mexico, and/or California Chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 Cup Water
1 Tablespoon Achiote Paste
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
6 large cloves of garlic (chopped)
3 Tablespoons Vegetable oil
3 Tablespoons White Vinegar
1/2 of a large White Onion (chopped)
1 Cup Pineapple Chunks (drained)
Corn Tortillas (warmed)

Toppings: Sliced Avocado, Diced onion, diced Cilantro, Cotija Cheese, and Fresh Lime juice

Place pork, kosher salt, and water into the Instapot. Set the Meat/Stew setting for 30 minutes on high pressure.

While pork is cooking, place oil into a pot and saute the onions for 2-3 mins. Add the remaining ingredients to the onions and continue to heat over medium heat for an addition 5 mins. Turn off heat and let cool until pork is cooked.

When the pork is done, press cancel on the Instapot and release the pressure. Allow the pork to cool for 10-15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

Place the pork into a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion mixture to skillet along with reserved cooking liquid. Stir the pork and mixture together while gently crushing the pork to shred it. Cook mixture for about 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and pork is shredded or in small chunks.

Serve on warm or toasted corn tortillas and top as you wish. Enjoy!!!
