Chile Colorado

This is a quick version of the chile colorado my grandma used to make.

3 lbs. country style pork rib meat

3 dried chiles pasilla
10 dried chiles de arbol (these are spicy so add to your liking)

4 garlic cloves

½ large onion

1 handful of walnuts (or peanuts or even a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter)

2 teaspoons sesame seeds

1 – 28oz can of cooked tomatoes

1 handful cilantro

Salt & pepper to taste

You can find all these chiles at your regular supermarket or at any Mexican market.

Cut meat into small bite size pieces. Set skillet on high heat and wait for it to be hot, brown the meat for about 10 minutes or until it is crispy. Lower the temperature to simmer and cover, let cook for about an hour.

In the meantime, heat a small saucepan with a little bit of olive oil and fry the chiles, garlic, onion, walnuts (if you are using peanut butter there is not need to fry this, just add it to the blender), and sesame seeds. I like to do them one at a time. Place them all in a blender with the tomatoes, salt, pepper and cilantro.

Once the meat is thoroughly cooked add the chile sauce and heat thoroughly.

Serve with corn tortillas and refried beans. Enjoy!
