STEPS

1

Whisk chicken broth, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.

2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil for 30 seconds, then add pork cubes and cook for 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn pork cubes over; cook 4 minutes more. Turn off Saute function.

3

Pour chicken broth mixture over the pork. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 40 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

4

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, 20 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

5

Meanwhile stir tomatoes, mango, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and salsa verde together in a bowl.

6

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

7

Shred pork using 2 forks; transfer pork to a baking sheet. Ladle half of the juices from the Instant Pot over the pork. Toss to combine and spread out in an even layer onto the baking sheet.

8

Broil pork for 8 minutes. Toss and broil 8 minutes more, or until desired crispness is reached.

9

Divide pork between tortillas. Top with mango salsa. Serve with lime wedges.
