Spicy Adobo Pork Tostadas
Ingredients
  • 1 3 - 3 1/2pound  boneless pork shoulder roast
  • 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup  chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons  finely chopped canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • 1 cup  canned refried beans
  • 8 corn tostada shells
  • 1 cup  packaged mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup  chopped tomato (2 medium)
  • 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup  queso fresco cheese, crumbled (4 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup  dairy sour cream
Directions

1. Trim fat from roast; cut pork into chunks. Place pork in a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a medium bowl, stir together tomato sauce, chicken broth, chipotle peppers, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, and pepper; pour over pork in cooker.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.

3. Remove pork from cooker. Using two forks, shred pork. Reserve half of the pork (about 3 cups) and 2 cups of the sauce; store* as directed below. Use with Chipotle Pork Tamale Casserole (see recipe below). Mix the remaining pork with 1/2 cup of the sauce. Discard any remaining sauce. Makes 4 servings + reserves.

4. Spread refried beans over tostada shells. Top evenly with pork mixture. Divide greens, tomato, avocado, and cheese evenly among tostadas. Top each with sour cream.

From the Test Kitchen*
  • Place shredded pork and sauce in separate airtight containers. Seal and chill for up to 3 days. (Or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before using.)
Chipotle Pork Tamale Casserole:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees . In a 2-quart square baking dish, arrange 16-ounce tube refrigerated cooked polenta, sliced 1/2 inch thick, overlapping as necessary. Top with reserved pork. Remove layer of fat from sauce. Spoon 1/2 cup of the sauce over pork. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Meanwhile, heat remaining sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped tomato and 1/4 cup sliced green onion over casserole. Serve with warm sauce. Makes 4 servings.
