Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1. Cut pork into 1 inch cubes; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet or Dutch oven. 2. Add pork, onions, garlic powder, chili powder and chipotle chile; saute 3 to 5 minutes to brown the meat. 3. Add enough water to barely cover pork. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Remove lid and continue to simmer an additional 45 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. 4. Combine chopped tomatillos, tomatoes and cilantro in a small bowl. 5. Place an equal amount of pork on each tortilla. Top with tomatillo salsa.
