Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pulled pork or ground pork - lightly seasoned - pre-cooked, shredded
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 green chilis large, roasted - you can use 5-7 green chilis
  • 4 cups water divided
  • 15 oz diced tomatoes Rotel or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp chicken stock or Better than Bouillon

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.
  • Add pulled pork or ground pork and heat until warm.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk in the flour.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • We highly recommend wearing gloves when handling the chilis - remove the stem and the charred skin from the chilis. The seeds hold some heat, so if desired, remove the seeds as well. Place the chilis into a blender with 1 cup of the water. Blend until smooth.
  • Add the blended chilis, diced tomatoes, chicken stock or Better than Bouillon, and the remaining water to the stock pot meat mixture. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
  • Cook the chili until it reaches the desired consistency. The longer it cooks, the thicker it will get. Stir often.

Notes

Storage: Green chili can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
