Inexpensive cuts of meat are often used as filling for Mexican food, such as beef chuck roast, pork shoulder and chicken thighs.  To tenderize, it is best to either use a slow cooker or pressure cooker to tenderize these flavorful meats.  However, this type of cooking will readily destroy the variety-specific flavors in chile pods, including the heat from capsaicin.  To avoid this, cover the meat of choice in a slow/pressure cooker with broth and add a tablespoon of Fruitful Chili pulp powder and cook the meat.  After cooking, resuspend the remaining pulp powder in broth and heat in oil in a saucepan with garlic and oregano, as shown in the basic recipe video above.  Then add a can of tomato sauce and a cup or so of broth.  Mix in the tenderized meat with the sauce and reduce as necessary.  Use this meat for tacos, burritos, enchiladas etc….
