Olive oil
3 10-inch flour tortillas

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through and thermometer inserted in center registers 145°F., about 20 minutes.

Arrange pork over, spacing evenly. Sprinkle diced chilies over. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over. Sprinkle cheese and cumin over evenly. Press third tortilla firmly onto cheese. Brush tortilla lightly with olive oil.

    Step 3

    Bake until cheese melts and top tortilla is beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Cut into 4 large or 8 small wedges. Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream.

Mexican pasta probably isn’t something you’ve thought about before, but this poblano sauce may have you rethinking your devotion to the red variety.
Spaghetti With Cabbage, Pancetta, and Calabrian Chile
Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Spinach Ramen Gratin
You can consider this recipe a template for creating a gooey, cheesy instant ramen dish with an appetizing golden crust in the oven.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Frijoles de la Olla Ramen (Mexican Stewed Beans)
Traditionally, this Mexican staple is simmered for hours in an olla, or clay pot. You can achieve a similar result by using canned beans and instant ramen.
