Description

These little packages of pork and chicken in adobo are a delight of Mexican cuisine. The meat, marinated in a chili and spice sauce, is steamed inside mixiote leaves (or baking paper), which gives it a unique flavor and texture. I often prepare them for family parties, they are always a success! The combination of pork and chicken, along with the spicy touch of the adobo, is simply irresistible. Also, they can be prepared in advance and cooked just before serving. If you can't find mixiote leaves, baking paper works great. Go ahead and try this recipe, you will love it!

Marinate the meats

In a large bowl, mix the pork cubes and chicken pieces. Pour the adobo over the meats and mix well so that they are completely impregnated. Cover the container and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.

Assemble the mixiotes

Spread the mixiote sheets (or waxed paper or aluminum). Place a portion of marinated meat in the center of each sheet. Add chopped nopales and spring onion to taste. Wrap the meat with the sheet, forming a package, and tie firmly with kitchen twine.

Steam

90 min/Varoma/Speed 1 Varoma

Place 500 ml of water in the Thermomix bowl. Place the mixiotes in the Varoma. Program 90 Min./Varoma/Stufe 1 to steam. Verify that the meat is well cooked and soft. If necessary, cook for longer.
