Hey Jason, what do you season with in the pressure cooker and how long do you cook it for? Looks good man.

For a 5lbs shoulder/butt i used

-2tbls of salt
-1tbls of fresh cracked black pepper
-2tbls of cumin
-2tbls of chili powder ( i used both ancho and light chili powder, 1 tbls of each)
-2tbls of garlic powder
-1/2tsp of cinnamon

Im using a 22quart presto pressure cooker so it's kinda big which mean i have put enough cooking liquid in it to last entire time it cooks. In the pressure cooker i put:

-6cups of chicken stock
-10 cloves of garlic
-1 onion chopped
-spoon full of black pepper corns
-2 bay leaves

Cook at high pressure for an 1hr 40min. The rule of thumb for thick cuts of meat or roast seems to be 20min/lb.

Alot of the things you put in the pressure cooker is for aromatics and some flavor but i feel like it loses some flavor because of the cooking process. Thats why i shred the meat, season it again and then put in a hot pan with 2-3tbls of oil to crisp it up. (On the 2nd round of season i didn't put the cinnamon on it.)

I'm gonna try this

>> I put a little bit of oil in a cast iron pan and put the seasoned shredded meat in the pan. I cook it until it crisps up just a bit. <<

This is a game changer for any meat from a pressure cooker or crockpot! I like to use a little lard instead of oil.

Hand-made tortillas. Wow! That's labor intensive but I'm sure it's well worth the effort.

Definitely a game changer! And the lard would be better for adding more flavor. Yea the handmade corn tortillas were tough to make. I had to use saran wrap and a rolling pen to get a round tortilla. But they were GOOD!

Looks great! I do something similar in a crockpot. Reminds me that I have one hind quarter left in the freezer and now I know what I’m going to do with it,

I smoked wild pork this weekend. After smoking I Cut it into manageable pieces and put in the instapot for 45 mins on high with some barbeque sauce. I don't put much sauce in which is good because we are making enchiladas tonight with it.

I will be trying the skillet and oil on my next one! Yours looks great!

Recipe sounds great. A lot like my carnitas recipe (minus the citrus component). I use the same twice-cooked method to crisp it up.

I know this is old but figured i'd add... Grandma only rolls flour tortillas. Traditionally, corn tortillas are pressed. Would go a whole lot faster and makes tortillas of uniform shape/thickness.

"A Tortilla press is a mechanical contraption used to make tortillas. It?s also known as ?Tortilladora? or ?Prensa para tortillas? and it can either be metal or wooden. It has a base, top and handle used to make the corn tortillas, by placing the ball of dough in the center of the press, apply pressure and the dough is flattened into a perfect, round flat tortilla. Metal presses are used to make corn tortillas only, Flour tortillas are normally rolled thin with a wood rolling pin."

Hope all is well, bud.

Made this yesterday for supper and it was a big hit!!! Used a hog ham instead of shoulder and it was just as tasty. Will be making more of this.
