Mouthwatering Pork Green Chile

A simple and, in my opinion, authentic version, this recipe comes down at least 3 or 4 generations of my family. You will know it’s done when the sauce has a medium thickness. Remember, the longer it cooks, the better it will taste. You can serve smothered over burritos or with warm tortillas, beans and/or fried potatoes. Also delicious with fried eggs (Huevos rancheros). Substitute 4 or 5 chopped roasted chiles for green chiles and jalapenos if you prefer.
