How to Prep Shredded Pork in the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker

I like to use pork loin (just trim any excess fat) or tenderloin and cook it in my Instant Pot.

  1. Dice up the pork into 1 & 1/2″ chunks and season with anything you like.
  2. Sear in some olive oil right in your Instant Pot or over the stove. Sear on all sides, remove from pot or pan and deglaze with some vinegar.
  3. Add the pork back into the pot (or in a slow cooker) with 1/2 cup or water and some salsa verde if you have it.
  4. Pressure cook on high for 20 minutes or slow cook 8-10 hours. Let it naturally release and shred.

Substitutions for the Pork

  • Pre Cooked BBQ Chicken or Shredded Chicken
  • Shredded Beef – Use this Instant Pot recipe.

Storing:

  1. Refrigeration:
    • Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days in the fridge.
  2. Freezing (optional):
    • Omit the Greek yogurt and cotija. Freeze the rest in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
    • Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Reheating:

  • Microwave (individual portions):
    1. Remove any toppings like yogurt or cotija.
    2. Cover loosely and microwave for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway.
    3. Add toppings after heating.
  • Oven (best for crispier tortillas):
    1. Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
    2. Bake bowls (covered with foil) for 15–20 minutes or until hot.
    3. Uncover for the last few minutes for a bubbly top.

  1. 5 stars
    Love this one! I prefer green enchilada sauce, so I swapped the red but kept everything else the same. Delicious!

  2. If everything is cooked, why do you put it in the oven for 30 minutes? Won’t that dry the meat out?

    1. You don’t have to, but I just always prefer to bake it all together an mend the flavors, just like you would a large casserole.
