Pressure Cooker Indian Pulled Pork Tacos
What is this you say? You’ve never had Instant Pot Pulled Pork Indian tacos before?? Hmm, I wonder why not? Could it be because I was bored one day so I just invented them and there are actually no such things as Indian Tacos? I think that just might be the case. This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands. We all get to enjoy Indian Tacos. Or East Indian Tacos anyway!
How to Make Pulled Pork Tacos
Place meat, onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, salt, turmeric, and cayenne in the inner liner of your Instant pot or pressure cooker. Cook for 15 minutes at high pressure. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure. Add the remaining teaspoon of garam masala and stir well. Using two forks, shred the meat and mix well with the sauce.
Do I Have To Make These With Pork?
Nope. If you don’t eat pork or don’t have pork on hand, you can also make this recipe using chicken or beef. I used pork because that’s what I had at home. You use whatever you want. The fact that you shred the meat in this recipe makes it easy to use multiple different types of meats. Whatever meat you decide to use, I’m sure it will be delicious!
