Instant Pot Pork Roast

Instant Pot Pork Roast
Instant Pot is a pressure cooker.

Seasoned pork roast
Season with seasoned salt and lemon pepper seasoning, if not already seasoned from store.

Remove netting and cut into about 6 chunks.
I've found that cutting meat into chunks helps cook the meat evenly in the Instant Pot.
Leaving it whole usually leaves a raw spot in the middle.  Yuck.
Pour 1 cup of liquid into pot and add meat in one layer in the bottom of the pot.
Lock on the lid and hit the Meat/Stew button.
The default time is 35 minutes and my pork turned out perfect!
When the cooker beeps, unplug the unit and place a cold towel on the lid.  After about a minute or so, release the steam.

this is a good time to warm up your tortillas.

Shred the meat.
Spoon some meat onto the tortillas, add shredded cheese and sour cream.
Enjoy.
