Rebel is my name. Tonight I threw caution to the wind and cooked green chile stew, using any ingredients I wanted to. And I cooked it in a pressure cooker because I had less than 1-1/2 hours to be at a booksigning. I threw in browned pork cubes, garlic, onion, green chile, tomatoes, potatoes and corn. 15 min later, it was scarfed down by my favorite wife and me.
I also heated some uncooked tortillas on a dry griddle. The tortillas, which are paper thin, were given to me by my cousin, who bought them at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. At any rate, they're quite good and remain flexible even after they puff up.
BTW, some restaurants here offer green chile stew with or without beans (refried). I've eaten it both ways. I'm sure glad we're not Texas where the variation would probably be illegal.
