Chile Verde Chimichanga
Indulge in a delicious fusion of flavors with my Chile Verde Chimichangas, inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. This dish combines tender pork and vibrant green chilies wrapped in a crispy tortilla, delivering a delightful contrast of textures and tastes.
Ingredients:
🐖 5 lb pork shoulder
🌶️ 3 small cans of diced green chiles
🌿 1 large can of green enchilada sauce
🧀 Oaxaca cheese
🌯 Burrito-size flour tortillas
🥔 Optional: Potatoes
🍄 Optional: Mushrooms
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pork:
- Trim the excess fat from the pork shoulder, leaving a bit for flavor.
- Cut the pork into small, uniform chunks for even cooking.
- Blend the Sauce:
- In a blender, combine two cans of diced green chiles and the large can of green enchilada sauce.
- Blend until smooth.
- Cook the Pork:
- Transfer the pork chunks to an Instant Pot.
- Pour the blended green chile sauce over the pork.
- Add salt to taste.
- Seal the Instant Pot and set it to high pressure for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Microwave the flour tortillas for about 20 seconds until pliable.
- Assemble the Chimichangas:
- On each tortilla, place a portion of the cooked pork mixture.
- Add sliced potatoes and mushrooms, if using.
- Top with Oaxaca cheese.
- Roll the tortillas around the filling, tucking in the sides to form a tight burrito shape.
- Cook the Chimichangas:
- Lightly spray each chimichanga with cooking spray on all sides.
- For the best results, deep-fry the chimichangas until golden brown and crispy.
- Alternatively, use an air fryer for a healthier option.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the chimichangas hot, accompanied by your favorite salsa or guacamole.
