We had this for Cinco de Mayo and it was delicious. Simple too.
This is somewhat made up on the spot and trying to use up cubed country style pork so it won't be in a recipe format.
Cut up some country style pork OR sirloin pork into large cubes.
Place in large saucepan and just cover with water.
I added Badia Complete seasoning (feel free to replace with salt/pepper), handful of cilantro, 3 whole but de-stemmed dried ancho peppers, 2 whole but de-stemmed dried chipotle peppers. Let it boil uncovered and then simmer for 30 minutes. At this point the pork should be thoroughly cooked. If not, cook some more.
Remove peppers with tongs and place into a blender. Add a cup of the cooking liquid from the pork. Add 4 cloves of garlic and the juice of one lime. Blend till smooth. Set aside.
Back to the pork, drain and then add the sauce. Simmer in sauce for an additional 10 minutes or so till tender. You can either eat this with rice or shred it into tacos/quesadilla/burrito.
The sauce is succulent and not spicy at all. The dried peppers I used were very mild.
I would probably cook this again with a whole shoulder or sirloin roast in a crockpot and then make the sauce at the end of the day and since the pork would be tender by then, just mix the sauce and shredded pork together.
