- 3 ounces dried guajillo chile peppers, seeded and deveined
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup white vinegar

- Combine onion, habanero peppers, lime juice, and salt in a bowl; cover and refrigerate onion-habanero salsa while preparing and cooking the pork.
- Place guajillo peppers in a bowl; pour enough hot water over the peppers to cover. Soak until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.

- Combine guajillo peppers, orange juice, vinegar, achiote paste, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour the sauce over the pork cubes in the pressure cooker. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
- Remove the pork to a serving dish and shred with 2 forks. Pour the achiote sauce over the shredded pork. Serve with the onion-habanero salsa.
