Instant Pot Chili Verde with shredded pork Mexican spices in a peppery tomatillo sauce is a versatile, easy and family-friendly dinner all year long!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family has always loved pork chile verde. It\u2019s one of our favorite dishes from a local Mexican Restaurant in Salt Lake City that we love, Red Iguana<\/a>. We actually have a copycat recipe for the Red Iguana chili verde in the Electric Pressure Cooking Cookbook<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this new recipe for Instant Pot Chili Verde uses shredded pork instead of diced pork. It\u2019s juicier, more flavorful and soaks up all the tasty chili verde flavors. I think you\u2019ll love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make Instant Pot Chili Verde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Instant Pot Chile Verde recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does shredded pork taste better in this stew (in my opinion), but it\u2019s also easier to make. It\u2019s quick and easy to shred Instant Pot pork rather than taking the time to dice it into cubes. We like to use meat shredders<\/a> to get the job done quickly with no mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this recipe even faster, cut the pork shoulder into four equal pieces before pressure cooking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pork is done cooking at 145\u00b0F internal temperature. However, you want the pork to go well beyond that to get to a fall-apart shreddable consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spicing Up or Down Chili Verde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can easily customize the amount of heat in this recipe.  If you like things crazy hot, you can sub in a serrano pepper for the anaheim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tone it down, use the milder anaheim pepper or even omit the peppers entirely. With my family of small kids, we use the anaheim for the flavor and it\u2019s not too spicy for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving Chili Verde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a versatile dinner because you can serve it straight out of the pot like a stew over rice<\/a>, or turn it into tacos, burritos or enchiladas! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: If you like a saucier consistency that\u2019s closer to a stew, add more cooking liquid at the end of the recipe.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing Chile Verde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe also freezes beautifully! If you\u2019re freezing leftovers, divide them into individual portions. Then add a little more liquid to each portion to keep the meat moist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
