Great and easy chile verde. I halved the recipe and used crushed tomatoes as I did not have diced. We are also not jalapeno eaters, so I added a 4-ounce can of diced green chilies. I cooked this in my crockpot at the #3 setting (the settings go from 1 to 5) and cooked for 3 hours. The pork was so tender it fell apart. I did not serve this in tortillas. Instead I made refried bean & cheese burritos and served the chile verde over the top for what we call "smothered burritos". Made for Fall 2011 Pick A Chef.
