Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lean pork
• 1 large onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 jalapeno or 1/5 habanero
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (mexican, if you can find it)
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put everything except the pork in a food processor and puree.

2. Add 1/2 the pork, pulse, add remaining pork and pulse to mix well.

3. Remove and wrap in waxed paper, then plastic wrap.

4. I like to chill this for a day or two to let the spices do their thing!

5. Salt to taste-I like this with alot of salt however 1 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons is a good start.
