(Tortitas de Masa con Picante Puerco)
Category: Breakfast Dishes with Tortillas and Bread
Freshly cooked ground pork seasoned with herbs and spices and piled on crisp potato masa cakes makes an unusual and satisfying breakfast or brunch. Chunks of fresh pineapple and mango go well with the pork and potato cakes. For a more substantial meal, add refried beans to the plate. A meal like this would be served at almuerzo (late breakfast) around 11 in the morning.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped
3/4 pound fresh ground pork
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 plum tomatoes, cored and finely chopped
Potato Masa Cakes
1/4 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
1. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pork and cook, breaking the meat into bits with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the salt, oregano, cumin, thyme, allspice, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is completely cooked, about 5 minutes. Reserve in the pan off heat.
2. Prepare the potato masa cakes. To serve, reheat the pork. Place 1 potato cake on each of 4 serving plates. Top equally with the heated pork mixture. Sprinkle each serving with crumbled cheese. Serve at once.
