GREEN CHILE PORK BURRITOS

Steps:

• On a shallow plate, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of the pork with the flour mixture and coat well. Discard any excess flour mixture.
• Heat 4 Tbsp canola oil over medium-high in a large Dutch oven or braising pan. Add the pork and brown well on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.
• Drain all but about 1 Tbsp of the oil from the pot and reduce heat to medium. Add onions to the pot, and cook until onion is translucent, adding a bit more oil if necessary. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, and cinnamon and cook 1 minute longer. Add about 1/4c of the broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.
• Return browned pork to pot. Add tomatillos and the remaining 2 3/4c chicken broth. Cover the pot and bring the mixture up to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, add anaheim chiles, poblano chiles, bell pepper, and one jalapeno to the pot and continue simmering for 1 hour more. Taste sauce and add additional salt and pepper as desired.
• Remove pork from the sauce and shred, discarding any fatty bits. Working in batches, puree the sauce and transfer to a large bowl, adding cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 1-2 jalapenos to one of the batches (depending on how spicy you'd like it). After all the batches have been pureed, stir well to combine. (I ended up with almost 3 quarts of salsa)
• Toss some (3/4-1 1/2c) of the salsa with the shredded pork.
• To make burritos, fill tortillas with pork, beans, rice, and cheese as desired, then top burritos with salsa.

GREEN CHILI PORK BURRITOS

Steps:

• Cover the bottom of your crock pot with water... you don't want much, because the roast will make its own juices. Cut most of the fat off your pork roast. Cut slits all over your roast and put garlic cloves down into each slit. I love garlic so I usually cut a LOT of slits. I usually use at least 8 cloves for this process. Sometimes I press a few cloves of garlic and rub it over the surface of the roast as well. Take your cumin and rub it all over the surface of your roast. Do the same with the crushed red pepper. I like it on the spicy side, so my roast usually ends up pretty red from all the crushed pepper and cumin. I also add salt to give a little extra flavor. I usually cook my roast on medium heat and just let it go most of the afternoon. After the roast has cooked for a few hours, it'll be swimming in juice... go ahead and add in the green chilis now (I don't cook it all day with the chilis because I find the longer you cook the chilis, the milder they become). Also add your pinto beans. I usually shred the pork up with two forks at this point, mix everything together, and let it cook for another half hour. I don't drain the liquid until I'm ready to serve the meal - it helps to keep the pork from drying out. I serve on flour tortillas that have been warmed up on a pan on the stove. Enjoy!

NEW MEXICO GREEN CHILE BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl, cover with water, and set aside. Bring the onion, garlic, green chiles, and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce thickens; turn off the heat.
• Meanwhile, place the strips of bacon on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, and cook on High until crisp, about 1 minute per strip; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Drain the potatoes, and add to the skillet. Spoon hot oil over the potatoes; sprinkle with the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Flip the potatoes occasionally, but let them fry until crispy bits form and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels. Microwave on High until warm, about 30 seconds.
• Spray a separate skillet with butter flavored cooking spray and cook the eggs over medium heat, whisking them continuously until the eggs are completely set; turn off the heat.
• Lay a tortilla flat in front of you. Place some potatoes, scrambled egg, and a strip of bacon on the lower third, leaving about an inch of room from the bottom, and about 1-1/2 inches on the left and right clear for folding the burrito. Spoon on a little of the green chile sauce, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Fold the left and right edges into the middle about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Take the bottom edge closest to you with the stuffing and pick it up, pulling it OVER the filling, while keeping the sides in place until that edge now touches the tortilla about 7/8 of the way up to the top edge. Check to see that the sides are still tucked well. If they aren't slide them in a bit now that you have the filling covered. Finish by tucking the bottom flap that you pulled over the filling UNDER the filling a bit to seal it, then continue rolling the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Let it rest seam-side down, and it will stay nice and tight. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

COLORADO GREEN CHILE WITH PORK

Steps:

• Put the pork roast in a covered casserol and roast at 275 for about 2 or 3 hours until done using your meat thermometer to check. I will often put it in frozen - no real need to thaw it first. As long as the pork is cooked through, it's fine. I don't even put any water in the dish, but you can put a half inch of water if you want to, it won't hurt the roast. When done, remove from oven and let cool. Save the juice! When cool enough to handle, dice the pork and throw away the fatty parts. Save the bone if any.
• In a very large stock pot (at least 2 1/2 gallon capacity), add diced pork and juice from the pork and sprinkle with flour - tossing to coat. Cook on medium low until it gets a little sticky from the flour. Add remaining ingredients and bones. Simmer at least one hour - stirring occaisionally. Do not let the bottom burn. If it seems too thick add water or chicken broth. Remove the bone.
• I use this for so many things! I smother my burritos, huevos, or eat like a soup with tortillas. I also pour it over burgers (see Gourmet Green Chile Burgers).
