Start with the sauce: Husk and wash your tomatillos then cut in half through the center not through them stem. Using a large baking sheet, Place in broiler on top rack and roast until the skins are mostly black. Remove and let cool.

Stem your peppers and cut in half length-wise. On a separate baking sheet, place the peppers with skin side up and roast in the broiler until the skins are completely charred (approx 8 mins). *Be careful not to roast too long or you’ll char the flesh under the skin and you’ll lose your flavor.

Mike's Pork Chili Verde Burritos Mike's Pork Chili Verde Burritos
FYI: Most Hispanics in Mexico don't wrap their foods up in a tortilla, "burrito style," like the US does unless they're on the run. What they will do at sit down meals is take warm flour tortillas - rip off a large piece and place their ingredients in a two bite sized portion and feed upon their dish that way. [see final photo] But, either way you choose to serve them is entirely up to you!This recipe may take some time but it's definitely worth your efforts! My seven year old students were up at 4:30 a.m. yesterday morning marinating pork and their efforts did not disappoint! Excellent work kiddos! In fact, they fed the homeless with them!Know that this dish is much better the following day and it freezes well for up to two months. This dish also makes for excellent oversized Taquitos and crispy assed Chimichangas! -

New Mexicans put this sauce on just about anything, even omelets. But unlike a traditional Chile Verde Sauce recipe, this recipe is pretty easy. Just throw everything in the pot and simmer for a few hours. You can also boil 3 breasts & make a shredded chicken version of this dish.
