Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds of either beef, pork or chicken (i use a pork loin)
  • 2 pounds fresh tomatillo or cans (i use fresh when available)
  • 2 cans whole green chilies
  • 3 large jalepeno
  • 1 large white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic

How To Make chile verde

  • Step 1
    Brown meat on both sides, place in crockpot.
  • Step 2
    If using fresh tomatillo’s-peel and rinse cook until light green- this will only take a few minutes once boiling. Place all ingredients in blender (expect meat of course ?) and blend until smooth. (including water from tomatillo’s)
  • Step 3
    Pour over meat and cook 4-7 hours until meat is done and sauce it to your liking. I always taste sauce every few hours to make sure enough spices are in it for our liking.
  • Step 4
    When meat is done take out and shred. Make burritos, top with sauce and cheese..and what ever other toppings you may enjoy like sour cream, extra cilantro or salsa
