Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Spread flour into a wide, shallow dish; add pork and turn to coat, shaking off excess.

03

Step

Cook coated pork in hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; continue cooking and stirring until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Pour tomatoes, green chilies, and 2 tablespoons cilantro over pork mixture; stir. Cover and simmer mixture until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.

04

Step

Whisk together cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl until well combined; stir into liquid in the Dutch oven and continue cooking until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.

05

Step

Remove the Dutch oven from heat and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle stew into bowls; top with cheese and desired amount of cilantro to serve.

For a richer flavor, consider using pork shoulder (Boston butt) instead of lean pork loin. The extra fat will render and create a more succulent stew.
Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preference. For a spicier stew, use hot green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serve with warm tortillas, rice, beans, or your favorite Mexican sides.
Garnish with avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
