Whole30 Pulled Pork Cuban Style

While I’ve never been to Cuba I’ve always dreamt of it! (I have been to Puerto Rico and LOVED it!) I love cuban flavors and this Whole30 Instant Pot Cuban Roast Pork with Mojo Criollo marinade is a true winner on both the flavor scale and the simplicity scale!

Mojo Criollo is a specific flavor blend that uses both fresh lime and orange juices along with oregano, garlic and chili powder to develop the signature flavors of the dish.

Ways To Eat Whole30 Instant Pot Cuban Roast Pork

There is no end to the ways you can repurpose this Cuban pork into different meals. My favorite way to eat this pork is as pictured in a bowl with sliced avocado, cilantro, green olives, fried plantains, marinated red onions and sprinkled with mint. You can also eat this Cuban pork over a bed of greens as a salad, in tacos, over a roasted sweet potato and over cauliflower rice (or white rice if not on a round of Whole30). However you eat it though, it’s going to be delicious!

This dish is so fresh, so tasty, and with the instant pot, oh so easy to have a flavorful dinner with almost no effort! You can also make this dish into cuban pork with the slow cooker with a little more planning but just as little effort. Plate this cuban pork sprinkled slivered with mint leaves and alongside fried plantains, green olives (these are my absolute favorites!), cilantro, avocado and marinated onion and you’ve got yourself a true feast!
