Steps:
- On 6-quart Instant Pot®, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Heat oil in insert. Add pork; sear 3 to 5 minutes on all sides until browned. Add yellow onions and garlic; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened. Select CANCEL; stir in 3/4 cup tomatillo salsa and seasoning mix.
- Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 90 minutes. Select CANCEL. Keep pressure valve in SEALING position to release pressure naturally.
- Transfer pork to cutting board; shred with two forks. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Discard remaining cooking liquid. Return pork, reserved cooking liquid and lime juice to the insert. Stir to combine.
- Meanwhile, beat water, vinegar, sugar and salt in medium bowl with whisk until sugar and salt dissolve. Add red onion; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Drain before using.
- Heat tortilla bowls as directed on package. Using slotted spoon or tongs, lift pork out of cooking liquid; divide among tortilla bowls. Top with remaining tomatillo salsa, pickled onions, Cotija cheese, avocados and cilantro.
