Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season the pork with salt and pepper and brush with 1 c. of the bbq sauce, place in a medium saucepan. Pour the stock over and bring to a simmer on top of the stove.
- Cover and place in the oven to braise for 1 hour, or possibly till cooked through. Remove from the cooking liquid. Bring the cooking liquid to a boil on top of the stove and reduce by half.
- Preheat a grill pan till almost smoking. Add in the pork, brush with the reserved bbq sauce and grill for 2 to 3 min on each side or possibly till a crust forms. Remove, let rest and slice on the bias into 1/4-inch slices.
- Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Place 1 Tbsp. of each cheese over 1 side of each tortilla. Place a few slices of onion over the cheese, then 3 to 4 slices of potatoes. Add in the sliced pork to the cooking liquid to moisten then place 3 to 4 slices of pork on top of the cheese, place a little more of the cheese on top of the pork, then some of the cilantro. Fold the tortilla over and press down slightly.
- Brush the tops of the tortillas with some of the oil and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven till the tortillas are lightly golden and the cheese has melted, 5 to 7 min.
- Tomatillo-Roasted Red Pepper Relish: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Let rest at room temperature for 30 min.
- Smoked Red Pepper Sauce: In a blender, combine the peppers, onion, chipotle and lime juice and blend till smooth. With the blender running, add in the extra virgin olive oil in a thin stream till the sauce is emulsified. Season to taste.
- Smoked Yellow Pepper Sauce: In a blender, combine the peppers, onion, chipotle and lime juice and blend till smooth. With the blender running, add in the extra virgin olive oil in a thin stream till the sauce is emulsified. Add in the sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
