Directions
- For the carne adovada: Toss together pork, oil, chile powders, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, bay leaf, clove, salt and pepper in a large pan. Let marinate for 5 hours or up to overnight.

- For the vegetables: Combine broccoli, mushrooms, carrot, celery, squash and zucchini in a large bowl.
- Combine a portion of chopped carne adovada, carne asada and fresh veggies in a saute pan and heat until hot. Serve immediately with soft white corn tortillas, topped with shredded cabbage, chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro and 1 lime wedge. Repeat with 9 more portions.
Cook’s Note
