Pulled Pork with Corn Tortillas Casserole

Step One (slow cook pork)
  • pork loin (about 2.25 pounds)
  • 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 chicken flavor ramen noodles seasoning packet
  • Cook pork for several hours in a crockpot with the seasoning packet (not the noodles!) and enchilada sauce.  NOTE:  This will make enough meat for TWO batches of the recipe.  Freeze the other portion to have on hand for a quick meal for a later time, or take a meal to someone.

Step Two (pull the pork apart)
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 can (7 ounces) diced green chilis
  • When the pork is tender and easily shreds, then using two forks, shred the pork, leaving small shreds, without any big chunks of meat.  Add the green chilis and sour cream.

Step Three (assembling)
  •  1 package of 10 corn tortillas
  •  HALF of the pulled pork mixture, warmed for assembly (if you refrigerated it previously)
  • 1 can charro beans (can substitute for any other kind of beans), drained
  • 1 can hominy (or corn), drained
  • 1 jar (11 ounces) HEB "That Green Sauce" (alternate creamy green sauces would work)
  • 8 ounces freshly grated Colby Monterey Jack blend cheese
  • Spray a non-stick cooking spray on the bottom of a 9" x 13" casserole pan, then tear the tortillas apart and layer evenly over the bottom. Carefully spoon the pork mixture onto the tortillas, followed by the drained beans and hominy, then the green sauce, and topped with the cheese.  Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step Four (garnishing)
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Prepare the avocados, tomatoes and onions, by dicing them uniformly, then add salt and pepper.  Serve on top of the casserole.
  
Freeze the other half of the pulled pork mixture to use another time.

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl ...
