For a richer flavor, consider browning the pork cubes in a skillet before adding them to the Instant Pot. Adjust the amount of jalapeno to control the level of spiciness in the dish. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes completely. If you don't have ancho chiles on hand, you can substitute them with other dried chiles like guajillo or pasilla, but the flavor profile will be slightly different. Serve the Chilorio immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It reheats beautifully and the flavors meld together even more over time. Experiment with different serving options! Use it as a filling for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or even as a topping for nachos.
