Barbacoa is a traditional Mexican method of slow-cooking meat until it is tender enough to fall apart with a fork. Originally cooked in underground pits, this modern Instant Pot version uses high pressure to achieve the same succulent results in just an hour. Culturally, it is the star of weekend family gatherings, typically served as a filling for tacos or burritos. The sauce is a deep, smoky blend of dried chilies, cumin, and cloves, offering a complex flavor profile that is both spicy and savory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
