Chili Verde For Burritos Recipes

QUICK AND EASY HOMEMADE CHILE VERDE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Cut the pork into 1/2-inch cubes and season with the garlic salt, black pepper, kosher salt, cumin, and chili powder. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat with half of the vegetable oil. Cook half of the pork until browned, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the rest of the vegetable oil and cook the remaining pork. Add the garlic and sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add to the bowl with the first batch of pork. Add 5 cups of water to the Dutch oven, bring to a boil, and stir to deglaze all of the bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining 1 cup water and the flour to a jar fitted with a lid, shake vigorously until combined, and add to the Dutch oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Add the salsa verde, jalapeño salsa, tomato paste, onion, and chiles with the reserved pork and its juices. Bring to a boil then reduce to a bubbling simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes and up to 1 hour for flavors to deepen even more.
• To assemble the burritos, lay out the tortillas and fill the lower 1/3 of the tortilla with 1/2 to 3/4 cup pork and sauce, top with cheese and fold. Place in a baking dish and repeat with the additional burritos. Pour more sauce over the burritos, top with shredded cheese and broil in the oven or toaster oven until the cheese melts. Garnish with sour cream, onion, lettuce and tomatoes 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.
