Chile Verde with Chicken or Pork

Spice up your next meal with this delicious plate of food. Make it with chicken or pork. It's good with either or both. Mix it up if you like.

Chile Verde

Ingredients:
1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
0.5 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce (mild)
24 ounces tomatillos (canned, including liquid)
3 ½ ounces salsa verde (hot)
3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 4 pieces lean pork
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
16 ounces mild green chilies (diced, including canning liquid)
1/2 lime, juice of
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
8 medium potatoes, cubed (optional)
Cilantro
Yogurt or sour cream
Tortilla

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients (except those for serving) and place in a crock pot.

2. Cook on high for one hour and then switch to low for an additional 4-6 hours. (This could easily be cooked on the stove as well).

3. At this point I like to break the meat up with a large spoon so that it is more or less "shredded".

4. Serve with cilantro, yogurt or sour cream and tortillas (and a spoon!).

Servings: 4
