Ingredients

Seasoning Mixture

• 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons salt , I use coarse, kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Pork

• 3 to 5 pound pork roast
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 cup root beer
• 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce , divided (you’ll use 1 cup at first and 1/2 cup later)

Extras

• Tortillas
• Toppings , sour cream, cheese, pickled onions, cilantro, tomatoes, BBQ sauce, etc

Instructions

1. Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Measure out 1 tablespoon and set aside.
2. Cut the pork roast into large 3- or 4-inch chunks. Season the pork pieces on all sides with the seasoning mix left in the bowl.
3. Add the broth, root beer and 1 cup of the BBQ sauce to the insert of a 6-quart electric pressure cooker. Whisk to combine. Nestle the seasoned pork into the liquid. Seal the lid, set the valve to seal and cook on high pressure for 50-55 minutes.
4. Let the pressure naturally release for 10-15 minutes (or all the way) and then quick release the remaining pressure.
5. At this point, if you don't want the pork swimming in liquid, you can ladle out some of the liquid and discard. Keep at least 1-2 cups so the pork stays moist.
6. Shred the pork with two forks. Stir in the reserved seasoning mixture and 1/2 cup additional BBQ sauce. Heat through.
7. Serve pork in tortillas with desired toppings.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
