Steps:
- Place roast in Instant Pot.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together chilies, taco seasoning, and cumin. Spoon green chile mixture over pork.
- Put your lid on the pot and put the VALVE on sealing (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 60 minutes (or 20-25 minutes per pound of your roast).
- When timer is finished, let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes - I prefer to let it sit in my Instant Pot on the "keep warm" setting for a couple of hours and it will literally fall apart).
- Shred or slice roast (it should fall apart pretty easily) and serve on top of tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for this recipe. It's a tough cut of meat, but the slow cooking process will break it down and make it tender. You can also use pork loin, but it will be a little less flavorful.
- Brown the pork before slow cooking: Browning the pork before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor. You can brown the pork in a skillet over medium-high heat, or in the slow cooker itself on the high setting.
- Use a flavorful salsa: The salsa is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use one that you enjoy. A good option is a medium or mild salsa verde, but you can also use a spicier salsa if you prefer.
- Add some heat: If you like your tacos spicy, you can add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the slow cooker. You can also add a tablespoon or two of chili powder for a more smoky flavor.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Once the pork is cooked, you can serve it with your favorite taco toppings. Some popular options include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker green chile pork tacos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the salsa verde is the perfect complement. These tacos are also a great way to use up leftover pork. So next time you have a pork roast, be sure to save some for these tacos. You won't be disappointed!
