Sweet & Savory Tenderloin Tacos (Instant Pot)

I used a marinade recipe that my step-mother taught me when I was first learning my way around the kitchen. I then found a process to cook pork tenderloin in an Instant Pot & Voila Magic! The marinade permeates the meat with the sweet taste of brown sugar and the savory flavors of garlic, ginger and soy sauce. The process involves searing the flavors in and then pressure cooking the pork to perfection. Placing the cooked meat in a thick flour tortilla and topping it with Mexican cheeses is just the touch that makes melt in your mouth tacos.
