Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Carne Adovada

    Begin by removing the stems and seeds from the dried chiles and soaking them in hot water for about 20 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the softened chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little of the soaking water if necessary to achieve a sauce-like consistency.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into chunks. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once browned, pour the chile sauce over the pork, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Papitas

    While the pork is simmering, peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat and fry the potatoes until they are golden and crispy. Season with salt.

  6. 6

    Cook the Eggs

    In a skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (scrambled or fried).

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the carne adovada with eggs on the side, accompanied by crispy papitas and warm flour tortillas.
