  • Roast the chiles: Roasting the chiles before adding them to the chili verde will help them release their flavor and give the dish a smoky, complex flavor. You can roast the chiles in a broiler or on a grill.
  • Make a flavorful broth: The broth is the foundation of any good chili verde. Use a combination of chicken broth, beef broth, and vegetable broth to create a rich, flavorful liquid. You can also add spices, herbs, and vegetables to the broth to enhance the flavor.
  • Simmer the chili verde: Once you've added all of the ingredients to the pot, bring the chili verde to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili verde is traditionally served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and cheese. You can also serve it with rice, tortillas, or cornbread.
