1. Combine Ingredients
Gather all ingredients. Combine the pork chunks, tomatillos, poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, serrano chiles, onion, garlic, ground cumin, and a hefty pinch of kosher salt in your pressure cooker. Mix thoroughly.
2. Pressure Cook
Seal the pressure cooker and bring it to high pressure. Cook the mixture for 30 minutes.
3. Release Pressure
Carefully release the pressure from the cooker. Use tongs to transfer the pork pieces to a bowl and set them aside.
4. Blend Sauce
Add the fresh cilantro and fish sauce to the remaining contents in the pressure cooker. Blend everything together using an immersion blender or countertop blender until smooth. Taste the sauce and season with more salt if needed.
5. Combine Pork and Sauce
Return the pork to the sauce and gently stir to combine. Serve immediately with fresh corn tortillas and lime wedges. Garnish with extra cilantro.
Shred the cooked pork for tacos with fresh cilantro, onions, and lime.
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours.
Use chicken in place of pork, adjusting cook time for a faster protein.
Cook in a pressure cooker for about 1 hour for a quick, tender result.
Swap pork shoulder for chicken thighs or beef chuck for a different base protein.
