Pork Chile Verde image

This is not a traditional Chile Verde, but it is very easy.This recipe was inspired by one I found on the back of can of enchilada sauce. In my hometown, chile verde was usually made with pork, not beef, so that's what I use. I've used cubed pork shoulder roast instead of the tenderloin, and couldn't tell the difference. You can substitute a 4oz can of diced green chiles for the mild Anaheim pepper. Or if you like things a bit hotter, use a spicier pepper.
