Posole

I am not sure where the original recipe comes from.  I believe it comes from Cooking Light.  I have also used leftover cooked chicken in place of the pork and my homemade marinara sauce in place of the stewed tomatoes.  I substituted creole seasoning for the chipotle seasoning.  It does give it quite a kick.  You could use a little less than 2 teaspoons.

Cooking spray
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into bit-sized pieces (or chicken)
2 tsp salt-free Southwest chipotle seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash) (or creole seasoning)
1 (15.5 ounce) can white hominy, undrained
1 (14.5 ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeno peppers and spices (such as Del Monte), undrained
1 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat.  Coat pan with cooking spray.  Sprinkle pork evenly with chipotle seasoning blend; coast evenly with cooking spray.  Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned.  Stir in hominy, tomatoes, and 1 cup water.  Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until pork is tender.  Stir in cilantro.  Yield: 4 seasonings (serving size: 1 1/3 cups).
