Pressure Cooker Indian Pulled Pork Tacos
What is this you say? You've never had Instant Pot Pulled Pork Indian tacos before?? Hmm, I wonder why not?
Could it be because I was bored one day so I just invented them and there are actually no such things as Indian Tacos?
I think that just might be the case. This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands. We all get to enjoy Indian Tacos.Or East Indian Tacos anyway!
How to Make Pulled Pork Tacos
- Place meat, onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, salt, turmeric, and cayenne in the inner liner of your Instant pot or pressure cooker.
- Cook for 15 minutes at high pressure. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.
- Add the remaining teaspoon of garam masala and stir well. Using two forks, shred the meat and mix well with the sauce.
Do I Have To Make These With Pork?
Nope. If you don't eat pork or don't have pork on hand, you can also make this recipe using chicken or beef. I used pork because that's what I had at home. You use whatever you want.
The fact that you shred the meat in this recipe makes it easy to use multiple different types of meats. Whatever meat you decide to use, I'm sure it will be delicious!
Other Recipes You Might Like
Changing up traditional recipes, and putting an Indian spin on them is one of my favorite things.
- This Keto Beef Kheema Meatloaf is another example of that. You just have to try it!
- Or if meatloaf isn't your thing, you can try these Bulgogi Burgers. They will definitely take your burger game up a notch!
Getting The Best Flavor Out Of Your Pressure Cooker Indian Pork Tacos
If you don't want to make them too spicy, you can limit, or omit the cayenne pepper altogether. It won't ruin the flavor of the dish for you to leave out the cayenne, since there are so many other spices in these Indian Pulled Pork Tacos.
I would urge you to make your own garam masala by using my tried and true Garam Masala recipe here. This is absolutely fabulous and the cornerstone of all of my Indian recipes that need garam masala.
It is SO easy to make, as this video will show you to make your own Garam Masala
Some of the best recipes are made with a little bit of imagination and a lot of crossed fingers. I think this Indian pulled pork tacos recipe is one of the best pulled pork recipes I've tried.

We love this recipe. We always double it. I also noticed not quantity for the ginger but I see your recipe elsewhere and it calls for 1 TBS. Maybe you can update and add it because we were also surprised not to see it.Reply

Hello,
Made this delicious dish tonight. Had one problem. There is no ginger in the ingredients list, but in instructions, it says to add ginger? Can you please clarify? I added equal to the garlic.
Thank you so much...love your recipes!!
