How To Make chili verde pork with green chili sauce

  • Step 1
    Make Sauce a day ahead and refrigerate until ready for use
  • Step 2
    Put all sauce ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Step 3
    Rub Pork with salt, add next 4 ingredients and place in crock pot for 6-8 hours. I have a hi-lo setting on my crockpot that automatically kicks from hi to lo after 2 hours. If yours does not just use lo for the full 8 hours.
  • Step 4
    When pork is cooked remove from crock pot and shred, dump all fat and liquid from crock pot and return shredded pork.
  • Step 5
    Pour raw Sauce in crock pot and cook on high for 2-3 more hours.
  • Step 6
    Serve with tortilla’s and any sides you choose.
