You can serve this basic pork recipe to your family several times in one week and they will never know they're eating leftovers!
Add pork roast to a pressure cooker. Rub pork roast with olive oil. Sprinkle spice mixture over pork roast. Gently rub to help it stick to the pork roast.
In a separate bowl, add orange, lime, and lemon juice, and soy sauce. Whisk together. Pour in the pressure cooker. Pour it next to the pork so the liquid doesn't wash seasonings off of the roast.
Set pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for 90 minutes. After cooking time, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release.
Remove pork from the pressure cooker and shred or pull with two forks. Discard any fat. Return pork to pressure cooker allowing it to soak up the juices.
Slow Cooker Instructions:
Mexican Pork can easily be made in the slow cooker. Follow the instructions the same as listed for a pressure cooker, except cook on high for 6 hours in the Crock Pot. °
