Enchilada Sweet Pork

I have always been searching for the right mixture of sweet and spicy. I finally found the right ingredient to give it that perfect sweetness and I owe it all to my Coca-Cola addiction! The spicy well you can't go wrong with enchilada sauce and Cajon seasoning. These ingredients will give any choice of meat Sabor!

1 Crockpot
3 lbs  Shoulder/butt pork
4 Tablespoons Cajon Seasoning
1 Tablespoon  Cayenne pepper
1 Tablespoon  Black pepper
1 Tablespoon  Garlic powder (or minced garlic)
3 Tablespoons  Brown sugar
1 Tablespoon  Salt
1 can  Coca-Cola
1 can red enchilada sauce


In a crockpot put in the pork. Set crockpot heat to high. In a separate bowl add the Cajon seasoning, Cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder (or minced garlic), brown sugar and salt. Coat the pork with the seasonings you placed in the bowl. Add your 1 can of Coca-Cola. After 6 hours of the pork cooking in the crockpot take out about 2 cups of the liquid in the crockpot. Once that is done add in the 1 can of enchilada sauce. Keep cooking for 2 more hours. After the 2 hours serve in a salad, sandwich or as my husband likes it, by itself. Probecho! :)

Tortitas de Atun y papa/ Tuna and potatoes balls


My mother made these tortitas growing up. They are cheap and delicious pero con una salsita on top mm...mm...mm. Can you say DELICIOSO. Enjoy! 

Tortitas de Atun
about 10 tortitas

  • 6 potatoes any kind
  • 1 can of tuna but if you would like more of the tuna taste put in 2
  • 1 onion chopped
  • Half a stick of butter 
  • Salt & Pepper for taste 
  • 2 beaten eggs 
  • 1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs I like the ones that have herb flavors 
  • Oil to fry the Tortitas. I like using Olive Oil 
  • Chopped cilantro about 1/4 of a cup 
  1. Peel the potatoes and Boil them. About 20 minutes or when the fork goes in all the way. Drain the water and mash them in a big enough bowl where all the ingredients will fit. 
  2. Add in butter, salt, pepper, beaten eggs, tuna, cilantro, onion and bread crumbs. Mix well 
  3. Now time to make the rounded tortitas about the size of crab cakes 
  4. Fry the tortitas in your hot oil I only put enough oil to cover half of the tortitas because I don't want to waste oil so I add if needed. Wait like 2 to 3 minutes and flip them over. 
  5. Get them out and put them on a plate with a napkin underneath to soak up the oil. 
  6. Enjoy!! You can enjoy the tortitas with a side salad and drizzle salsa on top of them.

Mole Dulce Recipe


This is one of my favorite Authentic Mexican meals. I remember when I was a kid in school they would ask "write down your favorite food" and I would always write Mole! I was the only Latina in the class so unfortunately the majority of the class had no idea what I was talking about. Here is the recipe and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

4 Chile Ancho
2 Chile Pasilla
2 Chile Mulato
1/4 cup of sesame seeds
1 cup of shelled and peeled peanuts (you can replace with almonds if you want.)
1/4 cup of shelled sunflower seeds( you can replace with pumpkin seeds if you want.)
1/4 cup of chile seeds
2 garlic wedges
3 Cloves
1/2 tbls of pepper
2 bay leaves
1 tsp of Cinnamon
2 Tomatillos
1 abuelita brand hot chocolate tablet.
2 hard rolls
2 tbls of vegetable oil

First rinse, de-vain and seed the chiles but keep the seeds. Soak the chiles in warm water. In a separate bowl soak the Abuelita chocolate tablet in 1 cup of warm water. While the chiles are soaking... toast the sesame seeds, peanuts or (almonds), sunflower seeds or (pumpkin seeds shelled), and chile seeds. Roast the tomatillos... set aside. Grab your soaked chiles and the water they are in and put in a blender. Blend for 2 minutes then pour the sauce through a sifter into a mixing bowl. Rinse the blender and pour the sifted sauce back into the blender and add garlic, cloves, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, toasted chile seeds, pepper, bay leaves, cinnamon, and tomatillos. blend for about 1 minute. Add dried rolls (or dried bread slices) and crush into bread crumbs. Add bread crumbs into the blender also add the semi soaked chocolate tablet into the blender and blend for 2 minutes. In a large pot put in 2 tbls of vegetable oil and heat at med high then once heated pour in blended sauce and heat until it comes to a rolling boil. (if the sauce is to thick add a cup of water to make a smoother sauce). Then your Mole sauce is ready to pour over Chicken and Spanish Rice. Enjoy :)
