Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) low-sodium chicken stock (about 4 cups) 2 small onions, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 1/2 fresh jalapeno chile with seeds, finely chopped 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (2 1/2 to 3 cups), plus sprigs for garnish 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1 bay leaf Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Mexican Corn Cakes 1 avocado (preferably Hass), halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced 2 medium ripe red tomatoes, cut into thin wedges 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema

Directions

Preheat broiler. Combine pork, stock, half the onions, the jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork registers 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet. Shred into 2-inch pieces with 2 forks. Add remaining onion. Stir in butter and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil pork until golden brown, 4 to 7 minutes.

Top each corn cake with 3 avocado slices, heaping 1/3 cup pork, 2 tomato wedges, and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Garnish with cilantro.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/06/2014   This is such a great recipe especially with the corn cakes and beans. I've made it many times over the years for company and it's always a big hit. It's great for all ages and picky eaters too!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/29/2013   This is fantastic, EXCEPT the pork usually dries out. I just cook a pork loin in the crock pot and then follow the recipe from there. Oh, and I also add chipotle chile to the pork. Yum!
