Lorraine's Mexican Pork

This is a wonderful recipe that my Aunt Lorraine used to make. She passed away a few years ago and every time I make it, it gives me the warm fuzzies just thinking of her. Enjoy.

Pork loin - I like to use a tenderloin it is SO yummy and tender that way.
1 large can of stewed tomatoes
Medium Onion
1 small can of chopped green chiles (I use mild, but you can use any spiciness you like)
Garlic to taste
Olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet or pot: Cut up the meat into small pieces, about 1 inch. Chop onion. Brown meat with olive oil and onion (garlic if you like) until pork in nicely browned and onions are tender. Add stewed tomatoes and chiles. Simmer until pork is tender. The longer the better. The last time I made it, I took it out of the skillet and tossed it in the crock pot for about 3 hours. YUM!
You can serve this with Spanish rice. My husband likes it with guacamole, rice and tortillas. He makes it into a taco.

Pulled pork sandwiches

I got this idea from my friend, Jennifer. I made them last night and they were oh so yummy. My mom makes these occasionally with a beef roast. Just as good. Take a pork tenderloin and toss it in a crock pot. Let it simmer all day so that it is really tender. You can put BBQ sauce on it all day or add later. I did a little of both. About 1 hour before you serve, take the meat out and shred it with a fork. I drained the juices because it was very watery. Put the meat back in the crock pot and pour BBQ sauce over top. Serve on rolls. Mmmm.... Jennifer insists that you use "Sweet Baby Ray's" BBQ sauce. It was yummy.
