Green chile is a tasty light meal when eaten with tortillas, but can also be used to top a lot of different Mexican themed dishes! Try this easy homemade green chile recipe and you’ll have an easy meal for your family!
Homemade Green Chile Recipe
1/2-1 lb. pork roast, or chops cubed into small pieces
10 1/2 oz. chicken broth
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 can (7 oz.) green chiles, diced
1/4 jalapeno, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. flour or cornstarch, dissolved in water
flour tortillas (or corn for GF)
Toppings
cheddar cheese, grated
lettuce, shredded
tomato
sour cream
Simmer pork in broth on low for 10 minutes. Add all other ingredients except flour and simmer 45 minutes. Thicken with flour so it is like a thick soup. Spoon about 1/4 cup into the center of a flour tortilla. Roll up tortilla and top with more green chile. Sprinkle with cheese, lettuce and tomato. Top with sour cream if desired. This green chile freezes really well.

Thanks, this will be part of our meal planning for the upcoming week!
The chili stands are up and roasting fresh chilis in Denver. King Soopers has pork shoulder roasts (whole shoulder) for $.99 a pound. I bought 20 pounds of pork shoulder, one bushel of green chilis and am on my third day of making green chile. I have used 90 chilis and have 20 to go, and a little pork. I will finish that all up tomorrow and it will all go into the freezer, all ready to eat.
