Instructions
  

Season the Pork

Brown the Pork

Remove Pork

  • Remove browned pork from pot. Set aside on a plate.

Add Green Chilies

  • Add chopped green chilies. Stir well. Let flavors blend for two minutes.

Return Pork

  • Return pork to the pot. Stir everything together gently.

Add Spices

  • Add cumin, oregano, and paprika. Stir until spices coat the meat.

Pour Broth

  • Pour chicken broth slowly. Scrape bottom of pot gently while stirring.

Add Chili Sauce

Simmer Slowly

  • Lower heat. Cover pot loosely. Simmer for 75 minutes. Stir sometimes.

Thicken the Chili

  • Mix cornstarch with water. Pour into pot. Stir gently until thickened.

Taste and Adjust

Notes

  • Use pork shoulder for best texture and flavor.

  • Serve thicker for burritos or thinner for bowls.
