Pour in the broth and reduce until slightly thickened.

PORK AND GREEN CHILE TACOS
The best taco consists of a warm corn tortilla with a spoonful or two of savory filling. That's it! If you're feeling extravagant, add a drizzle of salsa or crema, maybe a sprinkling of queso fresco, a slice or two of jalapeño. Here, the filling is pork simmered with tomatillos, green chiles and spices, an exquisite mixture even if it's gone in three bites. (Make extra!)
