Instant Pot Carnitas
Crispy, juicy, and suspiciously fast
You don't necessarily need an instant pot to make this recipe, but you do if you want to make it in under 10 hours lol. So, if you don't already have an instant pot or pressure cooker, I recommend hopping on Facebook Marketplace and picking one up for $40 - $50.
