Pressure-Cooker Cuban Pulled Pork Sandwiches image

I lived in Florida for a while and loved the pork served there, so I went about making it for myself! The flavorful meat makes amazing Cuban sandwiches, but you can use it in traditional pulled pork sandwiches and tacos, too. -Lacie Griffin, Austin, Texas
