Pressure Cooker Mexican Pork Roast

Pressure Cooker Mexican Pork Roast is flavored with garlic, salsa and jalapenos. I made this to make enchiladas with and they were amazing. This could be an easy weeknight meal to make. It only took 1 hour of cooking time for this roast to be fall apart and easy to shred. Cook the roast ahead and then make the enchiladas the next day for a dinner that could be ready in about 45 minutes.

Brown the roast before adding the salsa, water, onion and jalapenos.

I let this sit to cool for about 30 minutes before shredding with 2 forks. I poured the juices over the pork before refrigerating. Here is the pork all shredded and ready to make it into whatever you decide to make. We really enjoyed it in the enchiladas.
