Low Carb Pulled Pork Taco Wedge Salad
It’s always time for tacos in my house! Moving to the South has encouraged me to cook more pork, and this wedge salad is topped with chili-rubbed pulled pork and all sorts of taco fixings! It’s finished off with an avocado crema that is drizzled on top, but it can also be used as a dipping sauce, salad dressing and more. If you’d like, serve this salad with sour cream or your favorite salsa. In terms of the pork, I recommend doubling (or tripling) the pork butt recipe and cooking it as directed in a Dutch oven or in a slow cooker. Leftover pork can be refrigerated or frozen and added to eggs, salads, soups, and more!

This comment/rating is for the salad portion only. I make pulled pork almost every other day so did not use this recipe to make that. The salad dressing/cream is very bland and thick, after I already used more water than called for in the recipe to thin it out. Don’t think I will make it again.

Is there a way to do this in the instant pot?
Shalinasdream69 2 years ago
yes, you can cook pulled pork in the instant pot, chunk roast into about 3-4 pieces rub with spices saute all pieces, add 1-2 cups water, place trivet in pot and put roast pieces on trivet, close lid and seal, cook for 45min to 1 hour at high pressure, let pot natural release for about 15 minutes then manual release the rest of the pressure, let sit for about 20min to absorb flavour before shredding, enjoy!

Follow the same directions as stated above for searing except heat the oil (I use 2 Tablespoons) via the Sauté function on you instant pot until “Hot” and sear all sides. About 2-3 min per side. Turn the instant pot off. Pour in the water. I use 1 cup of chicken bone broth instead of water. Lock the lid into place. Select the “meat” function or “manual” on high for 35 minutes and let it naturally release the pressure when the pot beeps. It’ll take about 45 - 55 min total for cooking and natural pressure release. Hope this helps.

Do I use pork shoulder or pork butt? It says shoulder in the ingredients, and butt in the instructions.

Same thing. Shoulder just sounds more appetizing than butt.

Essentially the same. https://www.smokedbbqsource.com/pork-shoulder-vs-pork-butt/

Pork butt & shoulder are the same thing. Boggles me why butchers label them differently
