4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds pork tenderloin cut into ½-inch cubes
- 28 ounces canned green enchilada sauce
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 12 5-inch corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: sour cream, fresh cilantro, diced onions, and pickled jalapeños
Instructions
Cook the Pork
- Combine the pork cubes and enchilada sauce in the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir to coat the meat evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or until the pork becomes tender enough to shred easily with a fork. Adjust the seasoning with salt according to taste.
Add the Cheese
- Once the pork is fully cooked and tender, sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the top. Cover the slow cooker again and allow the cheese to melt completely, approximately 5 minutes.
Warm the Tortillas and Serve
- Stack the corn tortillas and wrap them in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften and warm. Keep the tortillas covered until ready to serve.
- Ladle the chili verde into individual bowls and serve hot with the warmed tortillas. Garnish with your preferred toppings such as sour cream, cilantro, onions, or pickled jalapeños.
