Ingredients

FOR THE CHILI VERDE

  • 6 pounds pork shoulder - trimmed of fat and chopped into cubes
  • 2 medium yellow onion - chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt + pepper - plus more to taste
  • 24 oz salsa verde - two 12 oz jars
  • 8 ounces green chilies - canned
  • 2 jalapeno peppers - chopped (more or less depending on how much heat you like)
  • chopped cilantro and green onion for garnish

FOR THE TACOS (optional)

  • corn or flour tortillas
  • red or green cabbage - chopped
  • salsa or pico de gallo

Instructions

  • Add pork, onion and garlic to your slow cooker.
  • Stir in both jars of salsa verde, canned green chilies and jalapeno peppers.
  • Cover and cook on high for approximately 5-6 hours or low for 8 hours.
  • Prepare tacos, if desired. 

Notes

  • If you can't find pork shoulder, pork tenderloin and pork butt are good alternatives.
  • Nutritional information does not include the optional toppings.
  • I recommend leaving the pork in its juices rather than draining as it will dry out.
