Serve this traditional Mexican entree as a filling for corn or flour tortillas or as an accompaniment to rice and beans. Garnish with tomato slices and fresh cilantro for a colorful meal. Trim and discard all fat from the meat and cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high, and cook meat, a few pieces at a time, until brown. Push meat to one side of the pan, add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano; cook until onion is limp. Stir in water, honey, salt and tomato paste. Simmer, covered, until pork is tender, about 1 hour. Skim off fat and discard. To serve, fill warm corn or flour tortillas (made with margarine) with meat mixture. Include rice or beans, if desired, and garnish.

A Message from our Provider:
“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
