Authentic Mexican Food Recipe

In different parts of the world these recipes are called by different names, but an authentic mexican food recipe is made with basically the same ingredients.

Red chile, green chile, pork & beef. This is the mainstay of mexican food, but don't be deceived. You can use inexpensive cuts of meat, but you can't scrimp on the chile.

Of course if you were going to make either red or green chile, you'd need a suitcase of other ingredients, but why make your own sauce when the best is available to you already?

After all, this is what makes the dish come alive.

We're going to show you 2 shortcuts to a couple famous dishes and you're going to be thankful to learn about these. And I promise when you're done, even your grandmother won't be able to tell that you didn't spend the entire day in the kitchen.

Chile Verde

Chile Verde literally means "green chile". It is traditionally made by cutting pork butt into small bite-sized pieces and simmering in a green chile sauce.

In New Mexico, the addition of potatoes makes this dish a hearty stew.

From Mexico, it's the filling of burritos. I'm going to show you how to make this authentic dish in no time at all. It'll be easy when you have the right ingredients.


INGREDIENTS

6 thick sliced pork chops or pork butt
3 garlic cloves minced
1 med onion, chopped
3 tbs canola
Salt & pepper to taste
2 bottles Coyote Trail Green Chile Sauce

Cut pork to bite-sized pieces
Salt & pepper to taste
Add oil to skillet
Brown onion, then garlic
remove to large bowl
Add pork to skillet and brown
Do not crowd-cook 1/2 way
Remove to same large bowl

Drain & add contents of bowl to Dutch Oven
Add Green Chile Sauce
Cover & cook for 2 hours
Cook on low-do not burn
Serve with beans, rice, tortillas


Chile Con Carne

In New Mexico, red chile with pork is called Carne Adovada. In Mexico it is called Chile Colorado or Chile Con Carne and is made with either beef or pork.

Traditionally the meat is "cured" in the sauce overnight, but with the right chile, this becomes moot because the chile you're going to use doesn't need to rest overnight.

The important thing about red chile sauce is to cook it long enough to cook all the graininess out. We've already done that for you.
