Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder trimmed and cut into 4 large pieces
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 packet Sazon seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Cut pork shoulder into 4-5 large chunks to fit it into the Instant Pot.
  • Add salt, pepper, Sazon seasoning, dried oregano and minced garlic to chicken broth. Pour over pork. 
  • Add bay leaves.
  • Cover, and cook the pork on high pressure (using manual setting) for 50 minutes.
  • Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Shred meat with forks.

Notes

You should not need to drain the pork after cooking. If any liquid remains, it will be soaked up by the meat after you shred it.
