Calabacita con Puerco (Pork with Squash)

Calabacita is a classic Tex-Mex dish that is slightly different everywhere you find it. This is my grandmother’s version, which I think is the best! Serve with hot corn tortillas.

Step: 1

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Cut the pork into bite-sized cubes.

Step: 2

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the saucepan. Add cubed pork, calabaza squash, corn, onion, tomatoes, and garlic and cook until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour in chicken stock and simmer, covered, until flavors are combined, about 2 hours. Stir occasionally and check periodically to see if more chicken stock is needed.

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the wrong kinds of food can lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a meal that is not eating to much food than satiating can leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night snack even closer to sleep .
