Shredded Pork Taco Filling

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Shredded Pork Taco Filling). This amalgamation of recipes produces a very mild shredded pork taco filling: tasty, but not as intensely Mexican as one might prefer. I suggest using this as a basis and adapting to suit with the addition of various peppers, sauces, spices, etc. The true beauty of this recipe is that it can be made in a pressure cooker in about an hour. Serve in corn or flour tortillas.
