Ingredients
  

Pulled-Pork

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder cut into two equal pieces
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce divided, plus more for serving
  • ½ cup water

Nachos

  • 1 to 2 Bags of your favourite tortilla chips try tortillas with a hint of lime!
  • 1 to 2 jalapeno peppers sliced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • sour cream to preference
  • cilantro to preference

Instructions
 

  • Add oil to your pressure cooker and select the Sauté option—brown pork on all sides and set aside.
  • Add half the barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup water to the pot. Stir to combine. Place the pork back into the pot.
  • Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the cook time to 60 minutes.
  • When the timer ends, turn off the pressure cooker and naturally release pressure for about 20 minutes before opening the lid.
  • Carefully remove the meat from the pressure cooker and shred it with two forks or claws and discard excess fat as you shredded.
  • Strain cooking liquid, reserving about half a cup.
  • In a pot, combine the remaining barbecue sauce reserved 1/2 cup of cooking liquid, and pulled pork. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  • Place chips in an even layer on your sheet pan, sprinkle pork on top, along with any other topping you prefer. Layer more chips on top and repeat the process.
  • Add a generous sprinkling of cheese overtop. Place in the oven on broil until cheese is nicely melted and beginning to brown.
  • Enjoy!
