Tabasqueño Style Braised Pork
Welcome back food family! Ay Dios mío, I had been craving this dish for months! Tabasqueño Style Braised Pork isn’t just food—it’s a hug on a plate.

Pork Loin Stew
Welcome back food family! This pork loin stew is one of my favorite dishes, hands down!!! 🙌🏽 It’s the kind of recipe that makes you pause mid-stir just to inhale the aroma and think, “Ah, this is going to be good.” It’s similar to pozole (but not really) because it doesn’t have hominy, the sauce is thickened with flour, tortilla, or bolillo, and the tomatillos add a tangy brightness that makes the whole pot sing. And since it skips chile de árbol, it’s flavorful without be

Al Pastor Picadillo Sopes
Welcome back food family! Today I made this delicious and super easy Al Pastor Picadillo. I was crazy busy today so having store bought sopes and refried beans at home was super convenient and made the prep work alot shorter 😌 I’m sure you can relate! My family enjoyed the picadillo on sopes. It can also be enjoyed with tacos or tortas! The longer you let it marinate, the better and tastier it will be. I let it marinate overnight but at minimum two hours will do the trick. �
