PORK AND POZOLE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a bowl toss pork with flour and salt to coat. In a skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork, stirring occasionally. Transfer pork to another bowl.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and cook onion and bell pepper, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add water and cook, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add pozole or pinto beans and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and simmer 3 minutes. Return pork to skillet and heat through. Stir in coriander and remove skillet from heat.
• Reserve 1/2 cup cheese. Put a tortilla on a work surface and mound one fourth pork mixture horizontally just below center of tortilla. Sprinkle pork filling with a heaping tablespoon of remaining cheese. Fold bottom edge of tortilla over filling and fold each side in over filling. Roll burrito away from you to completely enclose filling and make 3 more burritos in same manner with remaining tortillas, filling, and cheese.
• Arrange burritos in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake burritos until cheese melts and tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes. While burritos are baking, in a small saucepan heat remaining enchilada sauce over moderate heat until hot.
• Spoon enchilada sauce over burritos.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN POZOLE

Steps:

• This recipe requires a simple prep.
• Prepare the onion, peel the garlic, chop the onion, peel and chop the 2 garlic cloves, chop the green chilies and jalapenos if you are using them and get the hominy drained and rinsed.
• I boil my ancho chilies in a separate small pot for the garnish part(read below).
• Now you are ready to cook.
• Place the meat in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water.
• Add 1/2 chopped onion, the 2 cloves peeled garlic, pepper, cumin, and oregano.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Remove meat and broth, reserving both.
• Saute the remaining chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent.
• Add the remaining spices, stir for a minute.
• Cut the reserved pork into 1 inch cubes and add to the pan.
• Stir in the canned hominy, pork broth (if there is not enough pork broth, add chicken stock, I like to add it anyway for flavor, about 2-4 cups, eyeball the amount you like), green chilies and jalapenos (optional).
• Cook at a simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes until the meat and hominy are tender.
• If necessary, cook for up to an additional 60 minutes until the chilies and onions are well blended into the broth.
• Degrease the stew, taste for salt, and serve in soup bowls.
• This is a delicious recipe and well worth the effort to make.
• Garnishes that are always served with are:.
• lots of lime/lemon wedges.
• sliced radishes.
• chopped cilantro.
• Shredded cabbage(not red).
• fresh/ packaged fried corn tortillas.
• When my ancho chilies are soft from boiling(takes about 15 minutes), then i put them in the blender with 1 1/2cups of water, 1 clove of garlic and about 2 tablespoons diced onion, and about 1 tablespoons of salt and pepper. I blend this thin, then strain it to get the liquid separated from its "pulp". I throw the pulp into the soup for the flavor i like but you can discard if too spicy for you. The remaining liquid you put in a serving dish for guests to add in their own bowl, if desired. Beware! It's HOT!
