Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2 lbs GROUND PORK
5 GOLD POTATOES peeled and quartered
1-1/2 lbs NOPALES precooked, precut & rinsed in water
1 GUAJILLO PEPPER seeds and stems removed
2 DRY CHIPOTLE PEPPERS seeds and stems removed
2 JALAPEÑO PEPPERS stems removed and cut in half
6 CHILE DE ÁRBOL
2 TOMATOES quartered
1 GARLIC CLOVE
1/4 ONION
1 tsp CORIANDER SEEDS
1 tsp DRY EPAZOTE
OIL (Avocado, Canola or Vegetable) as needed
SALT to taste
Instructions:
1-In a pan over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of OIL. Once hot add the GUAJILLO PEPPER, DRY CHIPOTLE PEPPERS, JALAPEÑO PEPPERS, CHILE DE ÁRBOL, TOMATOES, GARLIC CLOVE and ONION. Keep continuously mixing with a spoon to toast the veggies for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
2-Remove the veggies from the pan then add them to the blender along with the CORIANDER SEEDS and DRY EPAZOTE. Blend into a smooth salsa consistency. Set aside.
3-In the same pan over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of OIL. Add the POTATOES to the pan. Keep stirring with a spoon for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. The potatoes might not be fully cooked at this point which is fine. They will finish cooking later with the meat and sauce. Set aside.
4-Add the GROUND PORK to the pan. Keep stirring until the meat gets toasty, approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked through.
5-Using a spoon remove the access meat fat that has now melted from cooking the meat. Leave about 2 tablespoons in the pan.
6-Move the meat to the sides of the pan. Pour the salsa in the center of the pan to fry it. Use a strainer if necessary. Mix with a spoon. Toss in the potatoes and nopales. Keep stirring to mix everything together.
7-Cover the pan. Lower the heat to low. Let it simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until the potatoes have gotten soft. Enjoy with a side of Mexican rice or beans de la olla.
