PORK GREEN CHILE
A simple and, in my opinion, authentic version, this recipe comes down at least 3 or 4 generations of my family. You will know it's done when the sauce has a medium thickness. Remember, the longer it cooks, the better it will taste. You can serve smothered over burritos or with warm tortillas, beans and/or fried potatoes. Also delicious with fried eggs (Huevos rancheros). Substitute 4 or 5 chopped roasted chiles for green chiles and jalapenos if you prefer.

PORK CHIMICHANGAS
Once upon a time in Tucson, Arizona (somewhere between the 1920's and 1950's) a burrito was dropped into a fryer, giving birth to the beloved chimichanga. Perhaps it was an accident or this Tex-Mex reinvention was intentional. Either way, we're happy our version with braised pork, homemade green sauce and Cheddar exists.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork, coriander, cumin, garlic and salt and pepper, and cook, turning as needed, until the pork is brown, about 15 minutes. Pour in 8 ounces of the beer and the vinegar, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Cover and braise over medium-low heat until the pork is fork tender and the liquid just covers the bottom of the pot, about 45 minutes. Remove the pork, keeping the remaining braising juices in the pot. Let cool and shred. Add the pork back into the pot and set aside.
- Combine the tomatillos, almonds, chipotles, onion, cilantro, the remaining 4 ounces beer and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Puree until smooth.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium heat and add the tomatillo mixture. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning, until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Take care, the sauce will splatter as it cooks. Pour the green sauce into the pork and toss to combine.
- Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with about 4 inches of oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 375 degrees F.
- Lay a tortilla out on a work surface. Put 1/4 cup of the cheese across the center of the tortilla. Top with about 3/4 cup of the pork and spread evenly. Roll into burritos by folding the bottom half of the tortilla over the pork and cheese filling, and then folding the 2 sides in. Roll up and secure with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and pork.
- Fry the burritos in batches, turning as needed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the toothpicks and serve the chimichangas with guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream.
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.

CHILE VERDE (GREEN CHILI WITH PORK) RECIPE - (4/5)
Provided by mkuchel
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients). Cool meat enough to handle. Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces. Process 1/2 of the green chilies until smooth. In the same large pan, heat oil. Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender but not brown. Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat. Add broth. Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened. Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes, chopped tomatillos, all of the green chilies and jalapeños. Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition. Simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. If you want more of a stew type chili, add cubed potatoes 20 minutes before serving; serve with warm tortillas. Serve over burritos and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.

Steps:
- Cut pork butt into 1" cubes. Place cut pork into large dutch oven, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir and continue cooking until meat is well browned and juices are almost gone. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Then add water to pan, enough to cover meat completely. Turn heat up to high and cook until water boils, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- While meat is cooking, prepare the flour tortillas. Spread a light amount of butter on both sides of each tortilla, set aside in a pile. When you are done buttering them, cover with the plastic bag they came in, so they will remain pliable.
- Spray a 13" x 9" baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- When timer is done for the pork, uncover and turn heat up to high. Cook over high heat until all the water is gone from the pan. When that is done, reduce heat to low and add crushed oregano leaves, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar and diced green chiles. Stir well and then turn heat off.
- Shred the meat using to large forks.
- Set your oven to 500 degrees.
- To assemble each chimichanga: Place 3-4 tablespoons of meat mixture on lower 3rd of tortilla, spoon meat mixture to within a 1/2″ of each side of tortilla. Then take left side and fold over meat, do the same on right side, like the top flap of an envelope. Then roll up towards 12 o'clock while keeping sides overlapping the filling just slightly.
- Depending on the size of your tortillas it may take two turns, set them seam side down on a baking sheet. Once they are all in the pan, spread butter on the tops of the chimichangas.
- Then bake in oven on middle rack at 500 degree for 6-8 minutes.
- Depending on your oven, start checking the chimi's after 6 minutes. You want them golden brown and delicious.
- Remove from oven and serve with freshly made guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo.
- Cooks Notes: Depending on the size of your flour tortillas and whether you want to make 'Entree' or 'Lunch' size chimichangas, this recipe will make up to 18 chimi's. If you use 3 tablespoons of filling in each you will get 18 smaller, or skinnier, chimichangas.

Tips:

Then, place the chilies in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. The skin will then peel off easily. - If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the chimichangas in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to use enough oil to cover the chimichangas halfway. - Serve the chimichangas with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese.Conclusion:
