Chile Verde Burritos are savory handheld wraps filled with tender pork cooked in a vibrant green chile and tomatillo sauce, rice, and melted cheese. Soft flour tortillas cradle the filling, while fresh cilantro adds brightness to each bite. Perfect for casual dinners or gatherings, they’re easily assembled and travel well.

Steps

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; brown pork seasoned with salt and pepper.
2. Stir in roasted green chiles, tomatillos, onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano; cook 2 minutes.
3. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until pork is tender, about 60 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a 350 F oven until pliable, about 10 minutes.
5. Assemble burritos: divide pork mixture and rice among tortillas, top with cheese and cilantro, and roll up.
