Instructions
Step 1
1. Boil tomatoes, chiles, 2 garlic cloves, and 1/4 of the onion for 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
2. Once done, blend the rest of the boiled vegetables with low sodium chicken bouillon, 1/2 cup water from the chiles, and seasonings to taste. Put to the side.
Step 3
3. Add nopales, 2 garlic cloves, tomatillo leaves, 1/4 onion and 1 tbsp salt to a pan.
Step 4
4. Cook for 10-13 minutes, stirring often. The nopales will release “baba” (slime) as they cook. Turn off the heat when they have changed to a dark green color.
Step 5
5. Remove the garlic and onion. Rinse the nopales under cold water until there is no “baba.” Put to the side.
Step 6
6. Slice the remainder of the onion into strips and pork into bite size pieces.
Step 7
7. Grease a pan and cook the pork on high heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. The pork will release liquid. Remove it if it does not evaporate.
Step 8
8. Add sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 9
