Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chile Marinade

    Remove stems and seeds from the dried red chile pods. In a saucepan, combine the chiles, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Blend the Marinade

    Let the chile mixture cool slightly, then blend until smooth. Add a little more water if necessary to achieve a pourable consistency.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and place in a baking dish. Pour the blended marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 3 hours, or until the pork is tender.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Papitas

    While the pork is cooking, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Cook the Eggs

    In another pan, cook the eggs in your preferred style (fried, scrambled, etc.).

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the pork is done, shred it and serve with the cooked eggs, papitas, and warm flour tortillas on the side.
