Green Pozole with Crispy Chorizo Tacos (Guerrero Style)

COMMENTS: This recipe is from Chef Karina Torres, who gives green pozole a unique twist by making it with pipián. This type of mole is known for being made with seeds, especially pumpkin seeds. When making it, it's very important not to let it boil, as it can separate.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If using uncleaned hominy corn, nixtamalize it first. Char the half onion. Cut the pork shoulder and spine into pieces. Clean and shave the pork head. Cook the meats, preferably in a pressure cooker, for 30 minutes; cook the pork head for about 1 hour. Cook the hominy for 30 minutes in a pressure cooker with the charred onion and salt.
- 2
For the garnish: Lightly sauté the chorizo with onion and garlic, assemble the tacos, and fry them in oil. Set aside. Dice the onion and set aside.
- 3
For the pipián: Cut the tomatillos and chiles in half. Peel the garlic and pumpkin seeds (if they have thick shells). Fry the tomatillos and chiles in a pot with pork lard, then remove and set aside.
- 4
Fry the pumpkin seeds and spices in the same lard, then remove and set aside.
- 5
Blend the lettuce, epazote, spinach, and cilantro with a little of the hot pork or hominy cooking liquid. Add the tomatillos and chiles and blend again. Add the pumpkin seeds and spices and blend until smooth. Season with salt.
- 6
Add enough lard to a pot, heat it, and sauté the pipián for about 20–30 minutes, until it forms small green bubbles on the surface. Set aside.
- 7
Place the remaining pork broth in a pot, add the meat, hominy, and a spoonful of pipián. Bring to a simmer.
- 8
Serve with pork cracklings, sliced avocado, lettuce, extra pipián to taste, chorizo tacos, diced onion, and lime.

New Mexican Posole New Mexican Posole
An updated version of the traditional new Mexican soup, from a native New Mexican. Dried hominy provide a better texture and flavor than anything from a can, while the stock replaces typical water and gets a boost from beef bouillon and gelatin to increase the broth's richness. The soup is covered in red chile sauce and garnished with onion, avocado and cilantro. Lance Wilson -
Chipotle Lime Pulled Pork Tacos w/ Citrus Crema Slaw Chipotle Lime Pulled Pork Tacos w/ Citrus Crema Slaw
This is probably the most involved dish I've posted so far (until I make my famous Gumbo that is) but it's WELL worth it. This is for the slow cooker and it comes out Fanfreakintastic! I've made this a few times and I've finally got it perfected. This isgood for a party or as in my case, something to make and eat for a week.The mix of the biting chipotle with the lime infused into the pork and the fresh, light slaw on top followed by the subtle zing of the cilantro.. Well, it'll make this a new favorite of anyone who tries it! I had the idea for this a couple years ago and couldn't find a recipe exactly as I imagined. So I made my own. After a few rounds of trial and error over the years I've finally got the methods down for the best results.I use purple onion because yellow, white and green were too strong. I now add the chipotle to the base instead of after pulling the pork because chipotle is very strong. It can easily overpower the subtle, delicious flavors we're infusing into this dish for hours. The trick is having the perfect blend of the spicy, tangy, zesty slaw and the savory of the cilantro. I use honey in the marinade because the sugars in it makes a world of difference in the caramelization of the sear.... Anyways just, Mmm, SO good!Enjoy! That's an order! Whitetrash Gastronome -
