Step by step instructions

To make these Instant Pot Pulled Pork Tacos, simply saute the pork tenderloin with spices directly in the Instant Pot. Next, place the lid on the Instant Pot and pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.

After the cooking time is finished, let the steam release, remove the lid and shred the pork tenderloin. Place in tortillas, add your favorite toppings and dig in!

Are Instant Pot and Crock Pot the same?

They are not. The Instant Pot is a pressure cooker and slow cooker in one, while the crock pot is simply a slow cooker.

Why Instant Pot over Crock Pot?

The Instant Pot performs both the function of a pressure cooker and slow cooker, as well as a rice cooker, steamer and yogurt maker. You can also saute directly in the Instant Pot, eliminating the need to saute meat or veggies in a separate pan before adding them to the Instant Pot.

A Crock Pot generally is just a slow cooker, so the Instant Pot gives you more cooking versatility in the kitchen.
