Cover the pot to a tight fit with the lid and aluminum foil and reduce the heat to low.
After about 20 minutes, uncover carefully

Back in the day, my mom made this with corn (which I always enjoyed). So I made this recipe with canned corn with chipotle, tomatoes with chiles and garbanzos. It turned out great! Topped with fresh cilantro and all you need is lechon! Next time I'll roast corn on the cob, use homegrown tomatoes for my sauce and try this again. I can't wait until my veggies are ready!
