Ingredients

2½ -3 lbs. boneless pork loin roast
Salt & black pepper
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ medium red onion diced
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup black coffee
28 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilis undrained
15 ounce can dark kidney beans drained and rinsed
15 ounce can Great Northern beans drained and rinsed

Instructions

Remove excess fat from your pork roast and cut it into 4 equal-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
Select the “Sauté” function on the Instant Pot and add olive oil. Once your pot is hot, add the red onion, cocoa powder, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper and stir to combine.
Cook and stir occasionally, until the onion softens and the spices become very fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the coffee and use a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot. (This is called deglazing - sounds fancy, doesn't it!?!) Cancel the Saute function to stop the cooking.
Add the diced tomatoes with chilis, kidney beans, white beans and seasoned pork loin. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Add the lid and lock it into place, making sure the valve is set to "Seal". Set the cook time for 45 minutes.
Once the cooking time is completed, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then do a quick release to let out any remaining pressure. Shred the pork and stir to combine. Let cool slightly before serving.

Add your choice of toppings (extra onion, cheese and sour cream are favorites here!

Notes

Pork loin roast is larger than a pork tenderloin, though either could be used. If you use a pork tenderloin you'll want to reduce your cooking time.
Check for pork doneness by using a digital meat thermometer. Pork is done cooking when it reaches a temperature of 145 degrees.
I use a cup of our leftover morning coffee in this recipe (assuming there is some!). You can use fresh brewed coffee or even cola as a substitute.

You can use leftover pulled pork as a recipe shortcut. Start on step 3 and add leftover pulled pork to the recipe.

To make this in the slow cooker:

Use all the same ingredients with the exception of oil. Since you won't be browning the onions, you don't need the oil. Basically, just add everything to your crockpot and cook for 7-8 hours or until the pork registers at 145 degrees.
