CHICANA

SLOW COOKER CARNITAS

Steps:

• Mix together salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon in a bowl. Coat pork with the spice mixture. Place the bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and place the pork on top. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture.
• Cover and cook on Low until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 10 hours. Turn the meat after it has cooked for 5 hours. When the pork is tender, remove from slow cooker, and shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.

CHICANA...MEXICAN I THINK?

Steps:

• In crockpot add the roast, peppers, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder and salt. Stir until well combined.
• Set crockpot for 8 hours if you have a timer on low and let cook.
• Serve with refried beans and rice!
• If cooking on the stove, add a 28 oz can of water (the can the tomatoes were in) to start with, you may need more or not as the cooking time goes on. You may have a faster cook time with this method.

CHICANA-IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Cut the steak, bell peppers, onion and jalapeno into bite sized pieces or strips.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the vegetables to the heated pan and cook until crisp-tender.
• Add the steak and garlic to the pan with the vegetables and cook until steak is browned.
• Add both cans of tomatoes, the salsa, and salt and pepper to taste to the pan.
• Pour the mixture into your crockpot and cook on low for 5-8 hours.
• Serve with tortillas, rice and beans.
• NOTE: I gave this such a long cooking time because it definitely does not bother it to be cooked for 8 hours in the crockpot. However, it is typically done and tender in 5 hours.

CROCK POT ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Spray a large skillet lightly with veggie oil.

• Roll the tortillas and fasten with a tooth pick.
• Put 1 cup of the taco sauce on the bottom of your crock pot.
• Place the rolled tortillas side by side Pour in 3/4 cup of taco sauce On the bottom layer (this will help the tortillas from sticking).
• Place second layer of tortillas and top with the remaining sauce.
• Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours.
• Be very careful removing the top layer so you do not tear them.
• Place on a warm platter, top each enchilada with a streak of sour cream, sprinkle remaining cheese over top Garnish with avacados and green onions.
• If you wish you can place under broiler for a minute to brown the cheesE (it melts on it's own).
