Ingredients

1/21 lb. pork roast, or chops cubed into small pieces
10 1/2 oz. chicken broth
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 (7 oz.) can green chiles, diced
1/4 jalapeno, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. flour or cornstarch, dissolved in water
flour tortillas (or corn tortillas if you’re gluten free)

Toppings

cheddar cheese, grated
lettuce, shredded
tomato
sour cream

Instructions

  1. Simmer pork in broth on low for 10 minutes.
  2. Add all of the other ingredients except flour.
  3. Simmer 45 minutes.
  4. Thicken with flour or cornstarch so it is like a thick soup.
  5. Spoon about 1/4 cup into the center of a flour tortilla.
  6. Roll up tortilla.
  7. Top with more green chile.
  8. Sprinkle with cheese, lettuce and tomato.
  9. Top with sour cream, if desired.

This green chile freezes really well.

Notes

  • This easy green chile recipe calls for pork, but I also occasionally make it with cubed cooked chicken.
  • This recipe is a great way to use leftover pork or chicken.
  • If you like, you can make the green chile and instead of serving wrapped in a tortilla, you can use to pour over your favorite Mexican dishes like burritos or enchiladas.
  • This green chile recipe is also good served over rice and garnished with the cheese, lettuce and other toppings.
