It goes very well with refried beans and mexican rice and tortillas. This recipe is good served immediately or can be reheated by adding a little water.
1 1/2 lbs. pork diced (pork chops work very well)
2 tbsp. oil
2-3 fresh jalapenos-diced
1 med. onion-diced
1 small tomato-diced
1 can tomato sauce
16 ozs. water
4-5 sprigs cilantro chopped
1 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
salt
pepper
Salt and pepper the diced pork. In a heavy skillet add the oil and allow to get hot. Add the pork and cook until good and brown. It is best if the pork kind of sticks to the bottom of the pan and leaves a good dark brown color on the pan. This takes about 7-10 minutes. When meat is done add the onion and chilis and continue to cook for another coupe of mninutes. Add the tomatos and stir, cooking for an additional couple of minutes. Add the tomatoo sauce and stir very well letting the sauce mix with the coating from bottom of pan. Stir in the water and add the cumin, garlic powder and cilantro. Salt and pepper can be added to suit your taste. Allow to come to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until liquid becomes a thick sauce. Serve.
