Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 pound pork shoulder

2 tablespoons Mazola® Corn Oil

¼ cup chopped onions

½ teaspoon Spice Islands® Garlic Powder

1 tablespoon Spice Islands® Chili Powder

¼ teaspoon Spice Islands® Chipotle Chile Powder

2 tomatillos, finely chopped

½ cup finely chopped tomatoes

¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

4 corn tortillas

Directions

Cut pork into 1-inch cubes; season with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Add pork, onions, garlic powder, chili powder, and chipotle chile powder; sauté until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add enough water to barely cover pork; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to simmer until liquid has evaporated, about 45 minutes.

Combine chopped tomatillos, tomatoes, and cilantro in a small bowl.

Place an equal amount of pork on each tortilla. Top with tomatillo salsa.
