Ingredients:

For the Pork:

• 2 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed and cut into large chunks
• 1 onion, quartered
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups Hatch green chiles (canned or roasted fresh)

For the Hatch Green Chile Sauce:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3-4 fresh Hatch green chiles, roasted and peeled (or canned)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Burritos:

• Large flour tortillas
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes
• Sour cream
• Shredded cheese (Mexican blend or your choice)
• Optional: Avocado slices, pickled jalapeños, cilantro

1. Cook the Pork

• Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork chunks and brown on all sides.
• Once browned, add the quartered onion, smashed garlic, chicken broth, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
• Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks and set it aside.

2. Make the Hatch Green Chile Sauce

• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened.
• Stir in the roasted Hatch green chiles (remove skins and seeds if using fresh).
• Add chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Blend the sauce until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Burritos

• Warm the flour tortillas by heating them in a skillet or microwave.
• On each tortilla, add a generous portion of shredded pork and drizzle with Hatch green chile sauce.
• Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and cheese. Optional toppings include avocado, pickled jalapeños, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

4. Serve

• Roll up the burrito by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom up.
• Serve with extra Hatch green chile sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
