  • Leave the beef in the Instant Pot and turn it off. Combine the rest of the ingredients, except cilantro, in a blender and blend until smooth.
    1 large onion, 5 garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chipotle powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1 cup bone broth, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup lime juice
  • Pour the sauce over the meat, close the lid, and cook for 60 minutes on high pressure.
  • Release the pressure immediately and open the lid. Take out the meat, shred it with 2 forks. You can return it to the Instant Pot on the Warm setting if you aren't eating it right away.
  • Stir, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve as taco meat, in a burrito bowl, or in any way you want to enjoy it!
