INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large saucepan combine the pork, 1 of the yellow or white onions,
sliced, the vinegar, salt to taste, and enough water to cover the
mixture by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the
mixture, covered partially, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the pork  is
tender. Let the pork cool in the broth, transfer it to a work  surface,
reserving 3/4 cup of the broth, and with forks shred it. In  a large
heavy skillet cook the remaining yellow or white onion,  chopped fine,
and the garlic in 1 tablespoon of the oil over  moderately low heat,
stirring, until the onion is softened and stir  in the pork, the
reserved broth, and salt and pepper to taste. The  pork mixture may be
made 1 day in advance and kept covered and  chilled.  In a large
saucepan, cleaned, combine the corn with cold water to  cover, bring
the water to a boil, and simmer the corn for 1 minute.  Drain the corn,
let it cool until it can be handled, and, working  over a bowl, with a
serrated knife cut the kernels from the cobs. To  the bowl add the
tomatoes, the red onion, the jalapenos, the  coriander, 2 tablespoons
of the lime juice, the remaining 2  tablespoons oil, and salt to taste,
stir the salsa until it is  combined, and let it stand for 30 minutes.
The salsa may be made 4  hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Peel and pit the avocados, in a bowl mash them with a fork, and stir
in the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice and salt to taste. In a
skillet heat 1/2 inch of the additional oil over moderately high heat
until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the tortillas, 1 at a
time, for 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them as
they are fried to paper towels to drain. Spread the avocado mixture  on
the tortillas, mound the pork mixture on it, and spoon the salsa  over
the pork.  Makes 8 tostadas, serving 4.  Gourmet July 1992  Converted
