Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat Oil in a large skillet with deep edges or a soup pot over medium high heat.
  2. Mix cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, some salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll in pork to coat. Shake off any excess and reserve the corn meal mixture.
  3. Toss pork into pan and saute for about 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from pan.
  4. Add white onions to the pan - season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper - and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add peppers and garlic. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add tomatillos, green chilis, and chicken stock. Add another sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired - I like to continually layer the seasoning. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Add reserved cornmeal mixture, and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. Reduce heat back to medium.
  6. Add tequila and Pork to the pan and cook at medium for 3-5 minutes or until mixture is heated through, thickened, and flavors incorporated.
  7. Serve in bowls with the fresh scallions and cilantro sprinkled on top.
  8. Enjoy.
