Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) canola oil
• 2 Pounds (lb) pork shoulder, sliced
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 2 Large fresh jalapeño peppers, torn
• 0.25 Cups onion, sliced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 1 6 Ounces (oz) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
• 1 12 Ounces (oz) can diced tomatoes
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cumin, ground

Steps

1. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork chunks with salt and pepper. Add the pork to the skillet, stirring to coat with oil.
2. Add the whole jalapeño peppers to the pan and cover. Allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Uncover the skillet, remove the jalapeños, and roughly chop them. Set aside. Continue cooking the pork uncovered until it browns completely and the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add the drained mushrooms and cook for an additional minute.
6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and torn jalapeños, stirring to combine with the pork. Season with ground cumin.
7. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve hot with Mexican fideo or white rice, and enjoy the spicy, savory goodness.
