Posole

From Cooking Light

This is delicious! Might not be terribly authentic, but it sure is easy! I didn't have the spicy tomatoes, so I just added a seeded, chopped jalapeno (from my garden!). I also skipped the cilantro, mostly because I forgot. But I will be making this again for sure!


The meat develops a rich, full-bodied flavor when it's cooked to a dark brown, so be sure not to stir the pork until it releases easily from the pan. Serve this fiery soup with warm flour tortillas.
Prep Time: 3 minutesCook Time: 30 minutesYield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/3 cups)

Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 teaspoons salt-free Southwest chipotle seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash)
1 (15.5-ounce) can white hominy, undrained
1 (14.5-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeo peppers and spices (such as Del Monte), undrained
1 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation
1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle pork evenly with chipotle seasoning blend; coat evenly with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned. Stir in hominy, tomatoes, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until pork is tender. Stir in cilantro.
