Carne Adovada W/ Torts Recipe

Carne Adovada Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Chilies

   Remove the stems and seeds from the dried red chilies. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chilies for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and soak the chilies in hot water for 15 minutes until softened.

2. 2

   Make the Marinade

   In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little soaking water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.

3. 3

   Marinate the Meat

   In a bowl, combine the cubed beef or chicken with the chili marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   Cook the Meat

   In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated meat and brown on all sides. Once browned, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

5. 5

   Warm the Tortillas

   While the meat is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until pliable.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the carne adovada is tender, serve it hot with the warm tortillas on the side. Enjoy with your favorite toppings such as chopped onions, cilantro, or lime.
