Easy One Skillet Pork Chile Verde

I seriously thought this Chile Verde was going to be the death of me.

Easy Chile Verde | Inspiration KitchenLet me assure you – it was not because of the taste or complexity of making it.

It was the photography.  Ugh.  Finally, after 8,693 attempts, I finally eeked out one photo good enough for the blog.

Now with that said…if you love Chile Verde – you are going to love this recipe.

  1. One skillet.  One!
  2. Spicy, tangy, bold flavors.
  3. Super easy to prep and make.
  4. From skillet to table in <30 mins.
  5. Filling like a soup, but much lighter to eat!

Trust me when I say, this is an OMGosh-that’s-good kinda recipe.  Perfect for chilly fall days.  We absolutely LOVED it and I think you will too.

You’ll love the kick of the spicy jalapenos and poblanos, especially when paired with the tangy flavor of the tomatillos.  With a lean, flavorful cut of pork loin, chopped into perfect bite-size pieces, makes it low-fat too.  Goodness and love in one skillet.

Enjoy!

      Thanks Consuelo. If you only knew how much effort went into this one. Haha! 🙂 I found Chile Verde to be very difficult to photograph.

    Isn’t it frustrating how difficult some foods are to photograph? You stuck with it though and got a great one! Love how simple, but flavorful this recipe looks. Definitely a good weeknight meal!

    Yum! I’ve never had chile verde before but have developed a serious thing for jalapenos recently. I know what you mean about photographing food – drives me crazy sometimes

      I love jalapenos, so i’m always down for a recipe that calls for them. And, when they don’t? I add them anyway! Haha!

    Oh gosh I know the feeling! 50 million photos and only one is perfect; I am just happy it is not so hot anymore, so I’m not sweating as I’m photographing… The shot you do have is amazing!
