The instant pot makes inexpensive tough cuts of meat like pork shoulder VERY tender, flavorful and moist. Try Instant Pot Pot Roast dinner for another example of how your instant pot can turn a cheap cut of meat into a tender, flavorful dream meal (with a gravy made right in the pot!).

The process of pressure cooking has one HUGE advantage over all the other methods I have used to cook meat. The pressure drives the flavor of the sauce right into the meat. Seriously. That’s a big reason to make saucy meats like this one in your instant pot.

AND…it’s so easy. After you sear the meat. Lock the lid and go visit with the family for an hour and let the pressure cooker do the work. Such a nice way to make dinner.

Fresh Vegetables And White Corn Tortillas Are Perfect For Chili Verde

These sliced veggies and white corn tortilla add so much to this Chili Verde experience. The tomatoes and onions are right out of Dave’s garden. Yum!!

I’m using my homemade Instant pot Bone Broth in this recipe. For the best flavored bone broth Instant Pot Bone Broth is just unbeatable. The added nutrients in your meals really make this process worth doing. The instant pot saves you time and money when you make your own bone broth too. Win win win!

Watch your sides if you are on a strict KETO diet. All the add on vegetables and Tortillas must be calculated separately.

I found these helpful Infographics over at www.ruledme.com

I am shocked that onions are so high in carbs! Good thing Dave and I are not eating KETO right now or I would have blown our carb count. Sadly some of our very favorite veggies are really high in carbs.

Fortunately, Dave and I enjoy all sorts of veg. I hope you find some veggie sides you enjoy in the LOWER carb veggie list below.

Jalapeño and cilantro are both very good garnishes to this meal if you have them. The tomatoes, onions and white corn tortillas make this a (Probably NON KETO) meal . Dave filled up his favorite type of tortilla with this spicy pork and veggies. So good!

This Mexican recipe is about as easy as dinner gets. The instant Pot makes it MUCH more quickly than cooking it over the stove.
