In your pressure cooker: Using med-hi heat, sear meat on both sides until crispy brown or until it can be pulled away from the pan. Add remaining ingredients. Close up your pressure cooker and bring up to 15 lbs pressure and cook there for 60 minutes. Quick cool by sitting in sink and pouring cool water over the lid (the spray nozzle works good for this). Once all pressure gages show no more pressure inside, you may open. (This only takes about 30 seconds) Shred meat with a fork or with a potato masher. You can freeze and add to your Mexican dishes.
