Best Tinga De Carnitas Gavacho Recipes
TINGA DE CARNITAS GAVACHO
This is the pork version of my Recipe #261487. My wife an I prefer the pork over the chicken, but then again pork fat is one of the greatest culinary gifts God has given us, second only to Beer. Which, is called for in this remix, so use whatever you have on hand and would normally drink yourself. Last time I made this I used a bottle of Land Shark Lager. Since this is cooked in a crock pot, I like to do the meat ahead of time and let it cool, so it's easier to handle for shredding. On game day, I'll cook the veggie addition and add the pork to it to heat it up. Trust me, this sound like a lot of work and many days. But I started this Thursday afternoon, and ate it at a party Friday night. Which, I might add was loved by all. Like the pollo version, you can serve this on a flour tortillas with some jack cheese and sour cream. Oh, this stuff reheats real well, just toss some in a non-stick pan till it's hot and serve. Also good on nachos, and in a quesadilla. Cooking time includes the part where your sitting around doing other stuff while your poor little crock pot does all the work "unsupervised", but all the while making your house smell freaking awesome. Edited. Thanks for the review and pointing out the omission of the tomatoes. I just made this last week and I still am working on the leftovers.

Steps:
- Dust off your crock pot and get it ready to cook all day, or over night, whichever you prefer for slow cooking. This does require a bit of commitment here, but there wont be any lawyers involved if it doesn't work out.
- Put the pork, the chicken stock, the canned tomatoes, and the beer in the crock. Yes it's alright if you want to take a swig first.
- Pull the stems off the dried peppers and try to get as many of the seeds out as you can. Then add them and six of the canned chipotle peppers to the crock.
- Take the garlic cloves and break them in half and add it to the party.
- Turn your crock pot to low and let it do it's thing for 8 hours. Not kidding here. you could go 12 hours if you get busy and forget about it. It wont get messed up.
- When the meat is done, remove it from the broth and set aside for shredding. You can do this hot or cold, it's your choice. I'm a wimp and I make this ahead of time so I shred when it's cold. You can Iron Man it if you want, but the end product will be the same either way.
- French your onions and cut the tomatillos into wedges just like you would a tomato, after removing the paper stuff from the outside of course, and don't forget that core.
- in your largest skillet, or even an electric skillet would work here, melt the butter and then add your onions. Sprinkle the salt over the onions to get those juices flowing.
- When your onions are dark in color and all gooy, (caramelized) add the tamatillos and let them cook down until they're soft.
- Puree up the rest of the canned chipotles with their wonderful sauce they're packed inches Add 2 tablespoons of the puree tot he onion mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the shredded pork to the onion mixture and mix it all up. keep stirring to get the meat reheated above 160 degrees.
- Now you have some kich a$$ Tinga Carnitas This is Gavacho approved. I recommend putting this over nachos. You'll never use ground beef again.

TINGA DE POLLO GAVACHO
This is another great recipe I learned while working with some great Mexican cooks. I was told that this dish is pretty authentic, but tends to have more onions and tomatillos than chicken. This recipe make look intimidating, but it;s not. If you don't have dried chilies in your pantry, I recommend you get some. They're great for boosting a home made salsa and for making you own chili powder. If you are unfamiliar with tomatillos, read on. They are kinda like a tomato, but they are greenish and have a paper like outer skin. The flesh is kinda like an apple in texture and sweet/tart in taste. When shopping for them, look for loose outer skin and the flesh should be sticky to the touch. I like to serve this simple, with some jack cheese and small flour tortillas. Throw in a little sour cream for some extra richness, and your well on your way to a nice food coma. This recipe is mild on the heat level, enough that my four year old loved it. You can add more peppers to kick it up if needed. But no matter how you sling it, it's all bueno.
