• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. ground cumin

1. Marinate the Pork:
In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes, Santa Fe Ole Red Chile Sauce, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the crockpot.
4. Combine Ingredients:
Add the remaining Santa Fe Ole Red Chile Sauce and chicken broth to the crockpot.
Mix everything well to combine.
