Flavorful and spicy chili that someone can find in almost every restaurant in Southern Colorado. Use it to smother burritos, eggs, fried potatoes, anywhere you use red chili!
Ready in: 1 hour 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 pound diced pork, the fattier the better
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 10-12 roasted green chiles, chopped; or 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles
• 1 large can diced tomatoes
• 2-3 cups water
• salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed (optional)

Preparation method

Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 1 hour | Extra time: 5 mins

1. Trim the fat from the pork and render it down. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings and fry the diced pork until well browned.
2. Add the garlic and onions and saute until translucent.
3. Stir in the chilis, tomatoes, water and salt. Cover and simmer as long as wanted, at least 30 minutes. Thicken with cornstarch and water if needed. Serves best over a great burrito.
