Prep time

minutes

Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs 1 1/2 pork butt or shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into small strips or chunks

• 1 1 onion, roughly chopped

• salt

• 1 tbsp 1 garlic, minced

• 1 (14 oz) can 1 diced tomatoes, with their liquid

• 2 cups 2 green chilies, roasted or broiled, roughly chopped

• garlic powder, to taste

• warm tortillas or rice, for serving

Directions

• Put a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking, just until the meat juices evaporate, about 8 minutes (you’re not looking to brown the pork here). Add the onion and a sprinkle of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes and 1 cup water, not quite enough to cover the mixture. Bring to a boil, and let it boil vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chilies, a sprinkle of salt and a sprinkle of garlic powder if you’re using it. Reduce the heat so the mixture bubbles gently but steadily, and cover partly. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates, 6 to 10 minutes (there should be some juices left in the bottom of the pot, but the mixture shouldn’t be soupy). Taste, add a little more salt if necessary and serve with warm flour tortillas or over rice.
