1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 serrano chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped
Canola oil, for tossing and browning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover
Honey, for sweetening
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
1 cup long-grain rice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups thinly sliced flat leaf spinach
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 large lime
1 jalapeno, finely diced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound dried white beans, picked over
1 small onion, halved
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 to 8 large flour tortillas
Cotija cheese, grated
Queso fresco, crumbled
Jalapeno hot sauce
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the green chile pork: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the tomatillos, onion, garlic and chiles with a few tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until slightly charred and soft, about 40 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, add the lime juice and cilantro and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat of the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook the meat in batches until golden brown on all sides, transferring to a plate as done. Remove any excess oil, then return the pork to the Dutch oven, add the tomatillo sauce and pork to the Dutch oven and toss to coat.
  • Add enough chicken stock to cover the pork, and cook until fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Allow the pork to cool slightly, then shred with two forks. Heat some of the cooking liquid in a large saute pan, add the shredded pork and cook for a few minutes. Taste, and add honey if desired.
  • For the green rice: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the rice. Add 2 cups of water, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cilantro and spinach, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • For the guacamole: Combine the avocados, onion, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro in a bowl. Use a fork to mash to a chunky mix. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the white beans with onion vinaigrette: Combine the beans, onion and garlic in a large saucepan, cover with water and cook until just tender, about 1 hour. Drain and discard the onion and garlic.
  • Combine the green onions, vinegar, a splash of water and salt and pepper to taste in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil to create an emulsified vinaigrette.
  • Combine the beans and green onion vinaigrette in bowl.
  • To assemble: Spoon some green rice on each tortilla, add some white beans with green onion vinaigrette, some green chile pork and top with guacamole. Garnish with Cotija cheese, queso fresco, hot sauce and cilantro. Fold the edges of each tortilla into the center and roll them up tightly.

I am the type of cook that doesn't normally measure ingredients, so take these with a grain of salt. The ingredients go great together though.

CHILI VERDE FOR BURRITOS



Chili Verde for Burritos image

My DH taught me how to make Chili Verde (one of his favorites), but over time, we both thought the recipe was kinda blah. So I looked up recipes here on Zaar, and in various cookbooks, and the result is what I'm posting. It's sort of a combination of Chili Verde *and* Salsa Verde recipes. If you wanted to have a green chili stew, just cut up a couple of potatoes, and double the tomatoes. Anyway, DH loves this version much better than what we started with, and so do I.... hope you do to :) PS: I used pork tenderloin, because it's boneless, has less fat, and is really easy to work with, and in my area, frequently on sale for a 1.99 a pound. But you can use whatever cut you prefer.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 burritos, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
1 (28 ounce) can tomatillos
2 (7 ounce) cans diced green chilies
3 ounces slivered almonds
1 medium onion, diced
1 garlic clove (diced or crushed)
1 cup chicken broth
cumin
chili powder
1 jalapeno (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon oil (olive, canola or if you prefer, bacon drippings.)
12 flour tortillas (we use the huge ones)
cheese
sour cream
whole black beans
refried guacamole
Mexican rice

Steps:

  • Place pork loin in freezer for about 30 minutes - this will make it easier to cut. Trim all visible fat, and cut into cubes - about 1 inch or so.
  • Heat oil in dutch oven, and add pork. Cook til all sides are lightly brown. Remove pork with a slotted spoon, onto a plate or small bowl.
  • Add onion to pan and cook until lightly browned and add garlic.
  • While onion is browning, put the almonds in a blender or food processor and pulse until almonds are the consistency of meal (don't go to far or you'll have almond butter). Add tomatillos, 1 can of the green chilis, and the jalapeno. Puree for about 1 minute.
  • When onions and garlic are done, add tomatillo mixture to pan.
  • Season mixture with cumin and chili powder. I probably use about 4 to 5 tablespoons cumin and 1 tablespoon chili powder. It's really just up to you and what you prefer.
  • Return pork to pan, add chicken broth and bring to a slow boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Cook covered for about 1 hour. Uncover and continue cooking until liquid reduces to your preference.
  • Make burritos with the condiments you and your family prefer.

AIR FRYER CHILE VERDE BURRITOS



Air Fryer Chile Verde Burritos image

While thinking of a way to use up leftover pulled pork, I remembered a dish I often had growing up in Colorado. While not quite the same, it inspired this recipe which was different and a great way to use it up. Serve with additional salsa verde for dipping if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups finely chopped leftover pulled pork
1 cup salsa verde
2 tablespoons cojita cheese
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Combine pulled pork, salsa verde, and cojita cheese in a bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the bottom half of a tortilla. Make 2 folds on either side of the large fold, creating an envelope shape. Roll it up using the tips of your fingers to tuck the filling in as you go. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Place some burritos in the basket seam side-down, making sure to not overcrowd. Spray the tops of the burritos with cooking spray.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork. Pork shoulder is the best cut for chili verde because it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will help to create a rich, flavorful broth. You can also use pork loin or tenderloin, but these cuts will be less flavorful.
  • Don't be afraid to use a variety of chiles. The type of chiles you use will determine the heat level of your chili verde. If you like spicy food, you can use hotter chiles, such as serranos or habaneros. If you prefer a milder chili, you can use milder chiles, such as poblanos or Anaheim peppers.
  • Roast your chiles before you use them. Roasting the chiles will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to blend. You can roast the chiles in a preheated oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality tomatillo salsa. The tomatillo salsa is an important ingredient in chili verde, so it's important to use a good quality salsa. You can make your own salsa or use a store-bought salsa.
  • Simmer your chili verde for at least 2 hours. This will help to develop the flavors and make the chili more tender.

Conclusion:

Chili verde is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. It can be served as a soup, a stew, or a burrito filling. It can also be used as a topping for tacos, nachos, or tostadas. No matter how you serve it, chili verde is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
