Tips:

- Use a high-quality cut of meat for the best flavor. Beef chuck roast or pork shoulder are both good options. - Be sure to brown the meat well before cooking it in the Instant Pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry. - Use a combination of spices to flavor the meat. Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. - Add some acidic ingredients to the pot, such as tomatoes, salsa, or orange juice. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. - Cook the meat on high pressure for the recommended amount of time. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through and tender. - Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender.

Conclusion:

Carne adovada is a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The Instant Pot makes it easy to cook the meat quickly and easily, and the results are always flavorful and tender. Serve carne adovada with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas.
