Pulled Pork Chilaquiles Recipes

Steps:

• Stale tortillas are best for this recipe, in any case when you have cut the tortillas intp strips spread them on a wire rack and leave for a couple of hours Combine pork, 1 onion& salt in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and turn the heat down, continue simmering, covered for about 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender Pour the veggie oil into a pan and heat it to 375F and fry the tortilla strips until crisp-you may have to add a little oil but wait until it is hot before continuing, place the fried strips on paper towels to drain Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet and add the remaining onion, saute until soft 4 minutes Add the chilies, garlic& cumin, saute 1 minute.
• Stir in the undrained, chopped tomatillos, bring to a boil and simmer covered 15 minutes Add creamo, cook uncovered over medium heat stirring frequently until the mixture has reduced to 2 2/3 cups about 12 minutes, stir in the cilantro Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix cheeses in a small bowl.
• Shred the pork (use 2 forks).
• Spread half of the tortilla strips on the bottom of a shallow 2 1/2 quart, greased baking dish, add layer of pork, cream mixture and cheese, in that order and then repeat the layers Bake until hot through and golden on top appx 30 minutes.
• Garnish with tomatoe slices and sour cream.

Steps:

• Remove the chorizo from its casing by splitting 1 end and squeezing out the meat. In a large heavy-bottomed high-sided saute pan, fry the chorizo in the oil until it is grainy but still soft, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to break up the meat and prevent a crust from forming on the bottom of the pan. Set aside and keep hot.
• In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, stir the salsa with a wooden spoon until hot and sputtering. Add half the tortilla chips and stir to coat with the salsa, then cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the rest of the tortilla chips, stir to coat with the salsa, and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 to 5 additional minutes. There should be a nice mix of very soft and still slightly crunchy chips when the chiliqueles are finished. Remove from the heat and use a slotted spoon or tongs to heap generous portions into each of 4 bowls. While still piping hot, top with the grated Cheddar and Montery Jack cheeses, chorizo, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkling of red onion and cilantro. Serve hot with Guacamole on the side.
• In a medium stock pot, place the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and garlic and cover with 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil over high heat and let cook 5 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a blender and puree until smooth with the cilantro and salt. If the salsa is too thick (it should have the consistency of a very thick soup), add a little of the cooking liquid. Check seasoning and add additional salt, if necessary, and pepper, to taste.
• In a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat, bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the chips in small batches until crisp and lightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. (They will continue to darken while resting.) With tongs or a metal frying ladle, transfer the chips to a large bowl lined with paper towels. Season with the salt and paprika while still warm. Repeat with the remaining chips.
