Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork - see Tips in post
  • 1 small onion - chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic - minced (about 3 cloves)
  • 2 potatoes - diced
  • ½ cup carrot - shredded or small dice
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 7-8 ounces lager - or other neutral beer
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste - see Tips in post
  • 1 bell pepper - chopped
  • 3 Hatch green chiles - chopped (see Tips in post)
  • ½ cup raisins or currants
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Brown the ground pork with the chopped onion and garlic. I love my potato masher to help break up the ground pork!
  • Once the ground pork is browned, add the ground cinnamon and ground cumin. Stir to combine.
  • Next, add in the diced potato and grated carrots. Sauté until the carrots begin to soften (about 5 minutes).
  • Deglaze the skillet with the beer, and add the tomato paste. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and simmer the ground pork and vegetable mixture until the potatoes are tender (about 10 minutes). This will depend on how small your potato dice is.
  • Add the capers, Hatch green chile, raisins, and chopped bell pepper to the mixture. Add a little bit of chicken broth if it looks dry. You don't want it soupy, but it should have some liquid. Cover, and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the vegetables are tender, and you've checked the seasoning, warm a tortilla (or two) for each serving. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges as desired. Enjoy!
