Procedure
This recipe comes from the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook. It was designed to be made in the Instant Pot.
In a small bowl combine cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
Trim the pork of any extraneous fat. Cut the pork into quarters and season each piece with the spice rub.
To the Instant Pot, add the orange juice, chipotle, adobo sauce, garlic, and onion. Stir to combine. Add the pork. Lock the lid.
In this step, you have the option to slow-cook or pressure-cook (don’t do both!). To slow-cook: press [Slow Cook], leave the vent open, and cook on "More" for 8 hours. To pressure-cook: press [Manual] and cook on high pressure for 1 hour 15 minutes. Use the "Quick Release" method to vent the steam, then open the lid.
Using two forks, shred the pork and stir to combine in the cooking liquid. Season to taste with salt.
To make the salsa, in a medium bowl combine the pineapple, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt.
Fill the tortillas with the shredded pork and top with the salsa.
