Instant Pot Tequila Lime Carnitas

This tequila-infused carnitas recipe is perfect for festive occasions—or any weeknight you want to party. It’s also a great way to feed a crowd and is super simple to scale up—I make double or triple batches any time I have people over because everyone always wants seconds and thirds! I like to set out a spread of toppings, including queso fresco, chopped avocado, and sour cream, but you can choose any toppings you prefer. Also, if you are avoiding alcohol, feel free to swap out the tequila for additional broth.

2 ½- to 3-pound boneless pork butt roast, cut into 3 or 4 large pieces

2 tablespoons chile-lime seasoning (like Tajín)

½ cup chicken or beef broth

¼ cup 100% agave tequila

4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided

2 tablespoons avocado oil

Fine Himalayan pink salt

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon grated lime zest

2 small heads butter lettuce

Toppings, such as queso fresco, avocado, sour cream, and/or hot sauce
