Easy Green Enchilada Pork Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
• 1 quart water
• 1 (7 ounce) can green salsa
• 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 lime, juiced

Instructions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the jalapeños and sauté for 1 minute. Add ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove the pork and jalapeños and set aside.
2. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and butter to the same pot. Cook the onion until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in salt, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper; continue cooking until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Slowly pour the enchilada sauce into the pot, whisking to prevent lumps. Mix in water and green salsa until well combined.
4. Return the cooked pork and jalapeños to the pot. Increase heat to medium and slowly bring the chili to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro and lime juice just before serving.
