Place pork tenderloin on top of the onion and sprinkle your spices (and place your bay leaves) on top of the pork. 2 lbs pork tenderloin, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 bay leaves
Pour ½ bottle of salsa, entire can of Rotel, and diced onions on and around the pork.1/2 cup green chile salsa, 1 can Rotel: diced tomatoes and green chiles
Pressure cook on high pressure for 30 minutes (I did this for a 2 pound tenderloin).
