- 2 tablespoons dried oregano (or dried italian herbs )
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 chicken bouillon cubes
- 1 whole jalapeno (omit if you don't want it too hot )
- 10 roasted green chilies or 10 chopped green chilies or 10 frozen green chiles, found in supermarkets
- handful of chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 cup flour
- Crisco shortening
Method
- In a large pot or dutch oven melt 1/2 c of crisco shortening.
- On a large plate sprinkle the flour and herbs and then dip the roast on all 4 sides coating the meat, then brown in the big pot on all four sides.
- In the remaining flour and herbs on the plate pour the can of mexi-maters and chop them up folding them into the flour mixture, add the green chiles and also coat with flour, sprinkle in more flour if you need to.
- ( This thickens the broth as it cooks ) Then scrape every morsel of tomatos and green chiles into the pot on top of the meat.
- Cover the meat with water I inch above the meat.
- Add the ch boullion cubes.
- Add the garlic, kosher salt, jalapeno and cilantro.
- Cover pot and bring to a boil, then lower it to med/high and continute cooking for 45 minutes.
- Turn the heat to very low and take out the roast to cool on a platter.
- When meat is cool, cut into bite sized chunks and put the pieces back in the pot discarding all fat.
- Turn heat to medium, this is when you add the chopped red onion and cook another 20 minutes.
- If the broth is still too soupy and you want it thicker, make a roux by putting 3 TBsp of flour in a bowl, add a small amount of water and whisk briskly to get out any lumps and pour this into the hot broth stirring well.
- Serve with tortillas or tortilla chips and shredded cheddar on top and diced lettuce or make burritos or huevo rancheros with this.
- YUM.
