  4. I cook pork with onions, garlic, tomatoes and tomatillo. It’s so delicious. This reminds me of it. My husband will only ear one bowl so now I get it all to myself with toasted flour tortillas ❤ you inspire me Angelica. The lady that cleans my house is named Angelica. I give her big hugs when she is here. I’m hugging you too! ❤❤❤❤

  11. I make a similar dish, carne de puerco com calabasa, but I don't add corn and I hate squash so I font add it. I am going to try it with corn. Sounds really good. Not sure what to sub the zucchini with.

  16. I know this video is 2 years old but I am glad I found it. I normally rely on my wife to make it but I made it my self more or less following ur instructions and it is great. I am now a subscriber and will check on ur other recipes. Thanks again…

  25. I've made this recipe several times already and i made it again tonight. I consider it a comfort food now. I just want to thank you again for sharing your recipe. I've made all your tamale recipes & your barbacoa….which is to die for! It's the best barbacoa I've ever had. I freeze my cooked tamales, so on Sunday morning we have the works: barbacoa, tamales, chicharones, pico de gallo, avocado, salsa & Big Red! Cant' have barbacoa without Big Red! Lol. It's the law around these parts! Lol

  28. Girls: Men only want and think about ass,tits,and how hot you are. Me: I will punch a model in her face to have a wife that can cook like this. Porn only lasts a couple of mins. Her meal will leave you satisfied for hours. I'm in love again internet you got me.

  36. I made this today & it was very delicious. I used 5 pork chops & I doubled the spices. I also made your chili & all three of your tamale recipes. All were perfect. I just wanted to say Thank You for sharing. Your grandma taught you well.😋😋😋

  40. Thanks for this delish recipe! I ended up making this without broth since I didn't want to go to the store. So, we had tacos and sauteed leftover pork ribs, and it's wonderful. Can't wait to try your original recipe when this all blows over.
