Best 5 Pork Chili Verde Burritos Recipes

GRILLED PORK BURRITOS WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• To make pork: Lightly oil grill grate. Brush pork with oil and season with chili powder and salt. Grill pork over medium-high heat, with lid closed, about 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches between 145 degrees F. (medium rare) to 160 degrees F. (medium) on a digital meat thermometer. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes.
• Place tortillas on grill grate and cook until heated, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from grill and wrap in a napkin to keep warm.
• To assemble burrito: Chop pork into bite-sized pieces. For each burrito, spread 2 tablespoons of beans in a wide strip on center of tortilla. Top with rice and cheese, evenly distributed between the burritos, and 1/6 of chopped pork. Sprinkle with cilantro. Fold in right and left sides, and roll up tortilla from the bottom. Transfer each to a dinner plate. Smother each with one sixth of warm salsa, add lime wedges and serve immediately.
• Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat, about 450 degrees F. Place tomatillos and jalapeno on grill grate and cook, with the lid closed, turning them occasionally, until jalapeno skin is blackened and blistered (about 5 minutes) and tomatillos are browned but not bursting (7 to 9 minutes). Transfer them to a bowl as they are done, and let cool. Scrape and discard skin from jalapeno. Seed jalapeno, reserving seeds.
• Pulse avocado, tomatillos and any juices, jalapeno (without seeds), onion, cilantro, oil, garlic, salt and sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth. For a spicier salsa, add seeds. Transfer to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low to keep salsa warm. Extra salsa can be stored in the refrigerator and kept up to 3 days.

PORK CHILI VERDE BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter till it starts to soften. Add jalepeno and garlic and cook another few minutes. Add pork and 1 cup of salsa. Stir in cumin and chili powder.
• 2. Add chipotle pepper and stir well. Add water, tomato paste, 1/2 of the cilantro and rice. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• 3. Add 1/2 of the cheese and stir till melted. Let mixture cool slightly. Put 1/2 cup of mixture in each tortilla and sprinkle with a bit more cheese. Roll burrito style and place in a 9x13 pan seam side down. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
• 4. Mix remaining salsa and cilantro with sour cream. Pour over burritos and sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake 5 minutes more.

GREEN PORK CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast until soft and starting to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring twice during roasting.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat. Brown the pork, in batches, until well-browned. When browned, add all of the pork back to the pan and cover with chicken stock. Add the roasted vegetables, cover the pan and place in the oven. Cook until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• While pork is cooking, place the cilantro in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and puree. Remove the pork from the oven and stir in the cilantro puree. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

AIR FRYER CHILE VERDE BURRITOS

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.
• Air fry for for 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining burritos. Serve with additional salsa verde for dipping if desired.

CHILI VERDE FOR BURRITOS

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.
