Description
Chili Verde Hatch Burritos are a flavorful and hearty dish filled with tender pork and a vibrant green chile sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs pork loin
- 20 oz Hatch green chiles, fresh-roasted or canned
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 oz ancho chili seasoning
- Large flour tortillas, burrito-size
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Shredded cheese (optional, for serving)
- Diced onions (optional, for serving)
- Additional fresh cilantro (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the Hatch green chiles, cilantro, garlic, salt, and ancho chili seasoning. Blend until smooth to create a vibrant, spicy chile verde sauce.
- Place the pork loin into your slow cooker. Pour the blended sauce over the meat. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until fork-tender and shreddable. Once finished, shred the pork in the sauce using two forks.
- Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in a microwave until pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the shredded pork into each tortilla. Add sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and fresh cilantro as toppings if desired.
- Fold in the edges of each tortilla, roll tightly into burritos, and serve hot. Optionally, wrap in foil to keep warm for picnics, tailgates, or packed lunches.
Notes
- Substitute pork with chicken or beef if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
