This pork chili Verde recipe is one of those meals that is perfect for cold and rainy days. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great everyday but when it just hits differently on a cold and dreary day. I am thankful that this week’s rain is washing off the copious amounts of pollen from the outdoor surfaces. But I am ready for it to end; 3 days is enough!
This pork chili Verde recipe could not be any easier and it will be ready to serve in 30 minutes. I enjoy my chili with white rice but it’s also great alone. You can also use brown rice or cauliflower rice if you fancy.
I use pork tenderloin because it is very lean (less fat), and I usually pick up a package of 2 when they are on sale. That translates into 4 pork tenderloins for the price of 2. The tenderloin is very tender (hence its name), so it won’t require a long cooking time.
I make this pork chili Verde recipe with my own homemade Salsa Verde. My Salsa Verde is pretty easy to make but it will definitely add time to this recipe. I encourage you to try making it though, it’s worth it. If you are short on time, just use jarred salsa Verde. You can find it in the Hispanic section of your grocery store or on
