Succulent Mexican green pork chili topped with fresh tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, and crispy tortilla chips for a zesty, satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
  • 1 (7 ounce) can green salsa
  • 1 quart water
  • 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 lime, juiced
Instructions:
  • Heat olive oil in a 4 quart pot over medium heat. Saute jalapenos for 1 minute. Add ground pork and cook until evenly browned. Set aside the browned pork and jalapenos.
  • In the same pot used for cooking the meat, add the remaining olive oil, butter, and onion. Sauté for 2 minutes until the onion starts to soften. Add the salt, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook until the onion is soft, then stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Lower the heat and generously sprinkle flour over the aromatic onion and garlic mixture. Stir continuously for three minutes, then gradually incorporate the enchilada sauce, whisking diligently to maintain a smooth texture. Finally, blend in the vibrant green salsa and water until well combined.
  • Add the cooked pork and jalapenos back to the pot. Increase the heat to medium and gently bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Off the heat, mix in chopped cilantro and lime juice before serving.
