Answer 1

This is a great recipe for get togethers!

Chilaquiles

Ingredients

(4 servings)

6 Eggs
4 Corn tortillas
2 Avocados
2 Tomatoes
4 tb Lime juice
4 ts Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tb Butter or margarine
2 Onions; finely diced
1 c Cooked beef, chicken or pork (diced or shredded)
1 ts Chili powder
1/2 ts Ground cumin
Cilantro


Instructions

BREAK THE EGGS in a mixing bowl and beat them lightly. Cut the tortillas into eighths and add to the eggs. Let sit 15 minutes. Cut the avocados in half from tip to stem, and remove the pit. Using a paring knife, slice the flesh in each half from tip to stem in 1/2-inch slices without cutting through skin. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh out of the skin in 1 piece. Lay cut side down on each plate and fan out the slices. Cut the tomatoes into slices and lay slices next to the avocado. Drizzle with lime juice and oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion, chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add meat; cook just until warmed. Add the beaten eggs and tortillas and cook, stirring, until eggs are cooked to desired doneness. Arrange a mound of eggs on each plate next to the avocado and tomato. Garnish with some cilantro. Serve immediately.

Answer 2

Mexican Pork Roast
A pork roast, seasoned with cumin, is cooked in a crock pot with salsa until tender. The meat is shredded and served on tortillas.
One 2 to 3 lb pork roast
2 Tbsp cumin
Salt & pepper to taste
8 oz bottled salsa
1/4 cup water
Flour tortillas
Sour cream, grated cheese, guacamole, black olives, lettuce, and/or chopped tomatoes, as desired

Place pork roast in a crock pot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cumin. Pour salsa and water over roast; cover, and cook on low heat setting for 8 hours or until very tender. When done, remove from crock pot, take two forks and pull the pork apart, discarding any bones. Serve on warmed tortillas with any or all of the following ingredients: sour cream, grated cheese, guacamole, black olives, lettuce, chopped tomatoes.

We used to do this in the oven uears ago but, with the invent of the crockpot it's easier.
