1
Prepare the Meat
Choose your meat (pork, steak, or chicken) and cook it until tender. For carnitas, braise the pork until it falls apart. For steak, grill or pan-sear to your preferred doneness. For chicken, grill or boil until fully cooked.
2
Heat the Sauce
In a separate pot, heat the green or red sauce over medium heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3
Combine Meat and Sauce
Once the meat is cooked, add it to the pot with the sauce. Stir well to coat the meat evenly. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
4
Prepare the Sides
While the meat is simmering, warm up the cooked beans, rice, and tortillas on low heat.
5
Serve
Plate the meat with sauce on top, and serve alongside beans, rice, and warm tortillas.
