Serves: 4
Total Calories: 356

Ingredients

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

Directions:

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.
