Carne Adovada
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 (16-ounce) jar Bueno Foods New Mexico Red Chile Sauce (also available frozen in supermarkets in the Southwest), or 2 cups Red Chile Sauce (page 133)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and ground (page 164)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground canela (or pinch of ground cinnamon), page 151
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 8 (5 1/2-inch) soft yellow corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
- Garnish: Toasted pine nuts (page 162), strips of roasted red chiles
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- In an ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the pork pieces until they have a golden sear on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chile sauce, cilantro, cumin, canela, and allspice and cover the pan.
- Transfer the covered pan to the oven and bake until the pork is tender, about 40 minutes, stirring the mixture at least twice during cooking.
- Remove from the oven and serve right away with a slotted spoon or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
- To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.
- Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with garnish and salsa.
- Grab, fold, and eat right away.
- Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand.
- Spoon on some filling, top with garnish and salsa, fold, and eat right away.
