These carnitas were delicious! I made them for my family and they all loved them. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the crispy bits were the perfect touch. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made carnitas in the oven before, but this Instant Pot recipe was so much easier and faster. The meat came out just as tender and juicy, and the salsa verde was the perfect finishing touch.
