what kind of New Mexican would i be if i didn't make a green chili stew?

first things first. you should find yourself a trusty assistant.

the pictures don't do this recipe justice. sorry. don't be fooled, it is pretty tasty.
Green Chili Stew

about 1 lbs pork, cubed

1-2 TBS oil

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 chopped onion (red or yellow, both taste good)

combine and cook on medium heat till pork is cooked thoroughly.

3 C water

3 chicken bullion cubes

2 cans Hominy, drained

1 4oz can green chilis (Hatch brand tastes best)

salt and pepper to taste

cook on high for 10 minutes after boil. then let simmer for at least an hour. of course things like this always taste best when left to simmer for longer, it depends on the time you have. i cooked mine on the stove but you could for sure turn this into a crock pot meal after you brown the pork.

also, please keep in mind that i cook this recipe (and so many others) according to taste so the measurements have flexibility. if you are making for a large party than just add more water. with every cup of water add one more bullion. top with cheese if you want.

hominy is a puffed white corn. it can be substituted with cubed potatoes but i prefer hominy as it gives it a more authentic flavor.
Homemade Tortillas

4 C flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 C warm water

stir together with a spoon until well moistened. then knead with hands till no longer sticky. you may need to add a little more flour. let sit covered for 10-15 minutes. then pinch off size you want and roll out flat.

i roll mine in between wax paper because it is less messy. make sure your dough is nice and thin. then cook on one side till it starts to bubble and brown, then turn and repeat.

i halved my recipe because there are only 2 of us. a half recipe made 10 tortillas.
