- 2+lbs. boneless pork ribs
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 yellow onion, medium-large 1 inch dice - divided into 2 portions
- 1 cup chicken bone broth
- 2 bell peppers (assorted colors), large diced
- 1/2 cup queso, crumbled or grated

Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute on high for 15 minutes. Arrange the boneless ribs at the bottom of the pot – let brown for 15 minutes. Turn over for another 15 minutes. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, garlic and 1/2 of the diced onion. Pour in the broth and put the cover on it.
- Change the heat to high pressure for 45 minutes. When the time is up, release the pressure slowly or let it release on it’s own.
- Arrange the bell peppers and remaining 1/2 chopped onion on a baking sheet tray (with sides). When the pork is cool enough to pick apart – remove the larger pieces of fat (discard) and place the pork on the baking sheet tray with the peppers and onions. Pour about 1 cup of the cooking liquid on top.
- Place in your oven on broil for 10+ minutes or until the pork is browned and crispy. Remove from the oven and garnish with queso, scallions and/or cilantro and lime. Enjoy it any way you like.
