Here is the Pork cooking in the Chili Verde. It was pretty straight forward to fix & we followed the recipe. I will have to say, it did help that there were two of us fixing these recipes ;) While one of us was cutting up the onions & pork mixture & then sauteing in the pan, the other was putting together the Chili Verde mixture. We only added around 2 cups of the broth & that was perfect. We didn't have to add any to the Verde mixture when it was blending. We did cook the mixture for awhile, while we finished fixing the other 3 dishes & that worked out good.
Here's Dana & Johnny working very hard cutting up all the veggies for the Pico de Gallo & Guacamole. She fixed the Pico de Gallo & then when she fixed the guacamole, I couldn't find good avocados, so we just used the pre mashed that you can find in the produce section. I think it tastes better with the fresh avocados though. Also, instead of chopping more onions, garlic & tomatoes for the guacamole, she just added some of the Pico de Gallo & that worked really well.
Here's Dana fixing the flour tortillas. She had fun fixing them & they weren't hard to make ;)
Here's the tortillas cooking. They cooked quickly and they had a good flavor. We thought that they were worth the effort to make them.
We really liked all 4 recipes & will fix these again. They do take a little time if you are doing them all that evening for dinner. I think that it would be a good idea to make the Chili Verde the day before or that morning. That would really help with that dish. That will leave you with more time for the fresh dishes. Also, the tortillas could be made earlier & then warmed up when you are ready to eat. I forgot to take pictures of our plates, but everyone liked the meal, yeah!!

Sounds and looks like everything turned out great. Yes, this is a time consuming meal - we prepared and put the pork in the crockpot in the morning so that helped a lot to spread out the work. Thanks for letting us know how it turned out to reduce the broth.
