Pork Chili Verde

 

Pork Chili Verde

Prepared in an Instant Pot



Ingredients:

3 lb. boneless sirloin roast
4 Carrots
1 onion
4 minced garlic cloves
28 Oz (1 can) enchilada sauce
¼ cup water
2 jalapeno pepper
1 cup minced fresh cilantro

 

I haven’t cooked this type of dish before; I’ve always made beef tacos whenever I am craving some Mexican food. I saw this recipe in a book, and I decided to try something different; plus it seemed easy to make. It turned out delicious, however it wasn’t as spicy as I expected. So I had to put some Tapatio sauce on my tacos. I hope you guys enjoy it 😊


1.    Select Sauté on the Instant Pot (high heat). Heat 3 tbs of oil and sauté, in batches, the pork, onion, carrots and garlic until browned.





2.     Add enchilada sauce, water, jalapenos, and cilantro   





      3. Lock the lid and pressure cook on Manual setting for 30 min. When finish cooking, allow pressure to naturally release.


    4.     Serve as tacos or over rise. Enjoy!

In a small bowl mix the water, milk, and egg. 2. In a separate bowl mix the flour with salt and soda 3. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, and add the coconut oil. 4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 tsp of butter. 5. Pour a ladle of the pancake mixture into the hot skillet and cook the crepes unit golden. 6. Continue with the remaining crepes. You don't have to add more butter to the pan, but if the mixture sticks to the pan, add more oil. Enjoy them on your own with maple syrup or add toppings of your choice.
