Calabacita con Puerco (Pork with Squash)

Servings:

Calabacita con puerco (pork with sausage) is a classic Tex-Mex dish that is slightly different everywhere you find it. This is my grandmother's version, which I think is the best! Serve with hot corn tortillas.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook until no longer pink in center, about 4 minutes per side. Cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes; cut into bite-sized cubes.
  2. 2 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same saucepan. Add cubed pork, calabaza squash, corn, onion, tomatoes, and garlic; cook until onion translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; stir in chicken stock and simmer, covered, until flavors combined, about 2 hours, stirring and checking periodically to see if more stock needed.
