I created the easiest Instant Pot Pulled Pork Carnitas recipe. It's based off this excellent one that my friend Prudence made and recommended. But since I can't follow a recipe to save my life, and her recipe had several ingredients high in sugars, I had to modify it quite a bit to keep these carnitas low carb.

12. Once it's well crisped, put in a little of the concentrated broth. Your skillet should be hot enough that most of it just dissolves, leaving behind the flavor. I used almost all of my broth, small portiojns at a time to flavor the meat. 13. Serve with guacamole, salsa, sour cream or low carb tortillas, or eat plain.
