Techniques
  • ¼ whole onion
  • oil
  • salt
  • cilantro
Sweat the onion in a little oil in a saucepan over moderate heat with a little salt, which draws out moisture so the cells collapse and soften.
Roughly chop the cilantro, stems included.
  • canned chopped green chilies
  • leftover pulled pork
Add the canned chopped green chilies, then the pulled pork, about equal parts with the beans, and let it melt down.
