Directions

  1. Combine onion, habanero peppers, lime juice, and salt in a bowl, cover and refrigerate onion-habanero salsa while preparing and cooking the pork.

  2. Place guajillo peppers in a bowl, pour enough hot water over the peppers to cover. Soak until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper on all sides, cook in the hot oil until completely browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®).

  4. Combine guajillo peppers, orange juice, vinegar, achiote paste, and garlic in a blender, blend until smooth. Pour the sauce over the pork cubes in the pressure cooker. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  5. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  6. Remove the pork to a serving dish and shred with 2 forks. Pour the achiote sauce over the shredded pork. Serve with the onion-habanero salsa.
