  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin, divided
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder roast
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar green salsa (such as Herdez®)
  • 2 cups roasted Hatch green chile peppers, diced
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
  • 2 white potatoes, diced
  • 4 medium tomatillos, husked and quartered
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped, divided
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 1 Anaheim chile pepper, cored
  • 1 serrano chile pepper, cored, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • 0.5 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste

Instructions

  • Rub the inside of a slow cooker with about 1 tablespoon oil and turn on Low.
  • Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Rub spice mixture all over pork. Top pork with cornstarch and pat to coat completely.
  • Heat remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork in hot oil on all sides until almost black, about 5 minutes. Transfer seared pork to the slow cooker.
  • Reduce heat to medium and pour beef stock into the skillet. Whisk until boiling, scraping up browned bits, about 5 minutes. Boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes more. Strain stock into the slow cooker. Add salsa, Hatch chiles, diced tomatoes, and potatoes.
  • Combine tomatillos, 1/2 the cilantro, jalapeño pepper, Anaheim pepper, serrano pepper, remaining cumin, and liquid smoke in a blender. Blend on high power and add to slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.
  • Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return meat to slow cooker. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Serve chili in bowls with Mexican cheese, sour cream, and remaining cilantro.
