Ingredients

3 lb. boneless pork butt, well trimmed and cut into 2-in. pieces (you should have about 2 lbs total)
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
Kosher salt and pepper
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 jalapeños, halved and seeded
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
6 oz. tortilla chips
1 can (15-oz) low-sodium black beans, rinsed
6 oz. extra sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-in. pieces
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Sour cream and guacamole, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1In an Instant Pot, toss pork with coriander, cumin, oregano and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss in garlic and jalapeños, then pour orange juice and 1/4 cup lime juice over top.
2. Step 2Cover and lock lid and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Use quick release method to release pressure. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork to a large bowl, discarding garlic and jalapeños. Shred meat, then pour 1 cup cooking liquid over the top and toss to combine, adding more if meat seems dry.
3. Step 3While pork is cooking, toss onion with remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to use.
4. Step 4Heat oven to 450°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss tortilla chips and black beans with half of Cheddar. Sprinkle with 2 cups pork (save the rest for another use) and then remaining cheese and bake until cheese has melted, about 7 minutes.
5. Step 5Meanwhile, toss tomatoes with onion and fold in cilantro. Spoon over nachos along with sour cream and guacamole.
