Ingredients
1 cup canned unsalted diced tomatoes
1 medium white onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
1/2 chipotle in adobo sauce, plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
One 8-ounce sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos
1 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
1/4 medium head red cabbage
1 medium Haas avocado
1 lime
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
Directions
- Puree the tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce in a food processor until completely smooth.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until brown, about 1 minute more. Dust the meat with the chili powder, and add the tomato puree, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover and gently simmer until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Chop the jalapenos, and whisk together with the yogurt in a small bowl. Shred the cabbage, cut the avocado into chunks and cut the lime into wedges.
- Ladle the stew into large, deep bowls. Top with the yogurt mixture, garnish with the cabbage, avocado, lime and cilantro and serve with the tortillas.
