What ingredients do I need to make this Mexican Sweet Pork?

- Reduced sodium beef broth

- Red enchilada sauce

- 2 Tbsp chili powder

Can this be made in the Instant Pot?
Yes, it sure can. Here’s the directions for that:
- In a small mixing bowl combine seasonings and stir until well combined.
- Season both sides of the meat with seasonings. Place seasoned meat in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- Pour beef broth over and around both sides of the meat.
- Place the lid on the top of the pot and lock into sealing position.
- Turn the setting to Manual or High Pressure and set the timer for 55 minutes.
- Make sure the valve is set to the Sealing position.
- After the timer goes off, allow the pot to naturally release the pressure-this could take 45 minutes.
- Carefully remove the lid from the pot when all of the pressure is released.
- Remove and place meat on a cutting board. Allow to cool for a few minutes. When it’s cool enough to handle-shred meat with a fork and discard any visible fat off of meat.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the remaining juice from the Instant Pot. Discard the rest of the juice.
- Turn the setting to Sauté. Combine the 1/4 cup remaining juice, cornstarch, enchilada sauce, chopped green chiles, brown sugar sweetener, and soda. Whisk until well combined. Heat until sauce begins to boil.
- Place the shredded meat back into the Instant Pot. Heat just until meat is heated through and the sauce thickens.
