Traditional Pork Chile Con Carne Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   In a large bowl, season the cubed pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.

2. 2

   Sauté the Onions

   In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Brown the Pork

   Add the seasoned pork to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Simmer

   Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

5. 5

   Add Chile Powder

   Stir in the red or green chile powder, adjusting the amount to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered, to thicken the sauce.

6. 6

   Prepare Tortillas

   While the chile is simmering, warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in the oven.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the pork chile con carne hot with warm flour tortillas on the side.
