    My good friend Lisa shared her recipe for Chili Verde many years ago when I was working on my Recipe Book.

    Chili Verde has to be one of our favorite Mexican Dishes to make at home aside from the usual tacos, burritos and quesadillas. If you are not familiar with this Mexican delicacy, it's basically a Mexican Pork Stew and is sometimes called Green Chili.

    When it comes to Chili Verde, there are a couple of variations. What I mean by that is some similar recipes call for tomatoes, like this one does, while other recipes do not like my Instant Pot Chili Verde.

    Additionally, some recipes call for beans while others do not. No matter how you like to make yours, you will be in for a treat because this is one delicious meal.

    I usually use Pork Tenderloin when making this Mexican Stew recipe but you can actually use any cut of pork that is lean with little to no fat on it.

    💭 Pork Loin vs Tenderloin

    A pork loin and pork tenderloin are not the same. A pork tenderloin is a long, narrow and boneless cut of meat with very little fat while a pork loin is wider and flatter, usually has a fat cap and comes either boneless or bone-in.
