Serving Size: 4-8 or more

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Cook Method: Instant Pot with Air Fryer

INGREDIENTS:


3-4 pounds Prairie Fresh® boneless pork butt

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons cumin

2 tablespoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons jalapeno powder

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons pepper

4 bay leaves

2 tablespoons minced garlic

2 medium onions, diced

1 cup orange juice (pulp free)

2 cups diced green chilis (4, 4-ounce cans)

1 package tostadas

1 cup Mexican crema

2 tablespoons Cholula hot sauce

4 limes

Optional Garnish: Use all or none!

sliced avocado

fresh cilantro

pickled red onions

diced tomatillos

diced cherry tomatoes

fresh or pickled jalapeno

fresh lime

refried beans

black beans

roasted corn

black olives

iceberg lettuce

Cotija Mexican cheese

queso fresco, crumbled

shredded cheddar

queso cheese dip

Directions 1. With a knife, trim excess fat from pork butt and cut into 2"-3" chunks. 2. In a bowl, combine cumin, oregano, jalapeno powder, salt and pepper to make rub. 3. Rub pork pieces with oil and coat evenly with rub. 4. In a multicooker, add green chilis, bay leaves, minced garlic, orange juice, onion and juice of 3 limes. Give a quick stir to marry flavors. 5. Add seasoned pork pieces to multicooker. 6. Place lid and set cooker on Pressure Cook for 50 minutes, making sure the knob is set to seal. Follow multicooker instructions to release and cool after cooking. Once pressure has been released, let pork rest before pulling. 7. In a mixing bowl, mix 1/2 tablespoon Cholula hot sauce with 1 cup Mexican crema and squeeze of lime. Place in refrigerator until ready to build tostadas. 8. While pork is cooking, prepare tostada toppers: *Optional Carnitas Style: Empty cooked pulled pork into large bowl. If you have a multicooker with an air fryer lid or standalone air fryer, using a slotted spoon, scoop about 1/3 of pork back into multicooker with compatible air fryer lid or into the basket of a standalone air fryer. Add air fryer lid to multicooker and set to broil or use standalone air fryer on 400 F for 8 minutes to give your pork the crispy, yet juicy texture that makes carnitas so well loved.

Note: Cooking one whole Prairie Fresh® pork butt allows for delicious leftover, tender pork that can be used for a variety of meals, such as quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas and tamales.

It is common for one quordle grid to fill in more quickly than the other. When this happens, shift attention to the more difficult puzzle.

I love testing different apps de filtros para fotos, and this one has some really nice options.

The filters don’t feel too heavy or artificial.

They enhance photos in a very natural way.

I never thought of using a combo of the Instant Pot and Air Fryer for this pork dish, such a smart idea to get the meat moist and tender on the inside but crispy on the outside! A plate of hot tostadas topped with some Mexican crema, Cholula hot sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lime will be the perfect snack for me to munch on while grinding for a high score in Drift Boss tonight. I saved this recipe immediately!
