CHILE VERDE BURRITO RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet.
• Add diced onions and sauté until onions are translucent.
• Add cubed meat salt and pepper to taste and cook until done.
• Add chopped jalapenos, diced green bell pepper, and tomatillos. Sauté for 4 minutes.
• Add chicken stock. Combine corn starch with one cup water and stir into mixture. Simmer up to 30 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
• Separate half of mixture in a separate bowl and set a side. Combine beans to mixture still in skillet and heat through.
• Warm tortillas.
• Add mixture plus a large pinch of cheese to the inside of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place in large Pyrex pan.
• When all tortillas are filled cover with mixture that was set aside and then with the remaining cheese.
• Heat in a 350 degree oven until cheese is melted.
