1 1/2 lbs ground pork
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely chopped
10 tomatillos, husked and halved

1/3 cup chopped cilantro (a generous handful)
1 lime, halved
1 avocado, cut into small chunks

Directions

1

In a deep skillet, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat.
2

Add the pork and season with salt and pepper; add the cumin and allspice. Cook until brown and crumbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic and jalapeno.
3

Using a food processor, pulse the tomatillos until coarsely chopped, about a few seconds.
4

Stir the tomatillos into the pork, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes.
5

Stir in the honey and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken broth and hominy and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and turn off the heat.
6

Squeeze 1/2 lime over the pork; stir. Squeeze the other 1/2 lime over the avocado. Serve the pork in shallow bowls with the avocado, tortilla chips and lettuce on top.
