As promised, I'm going to show you what to do with all of that leftover Carnitas from the Mission Style Carnitas Burritos recipe I gave you a couple days ago. This chili is amazing and I have already had requests to make it again! I got this recipe from my Grandmother and it is just perfectly spicy, hearty and delicious. The original recipe uses shredded chicken so this chili can be adapted to your taste preference or meat availability. (If you didn't make the full recipe for Carnitas already, the cost for this recipe in its entirety is $7.84 total / $0.98 per serving.)
Nutritional Highlight: Green Chili. You can find many vital nutrients in this little chili. It has an abundance of Vitamin A, which is important for healthy eyes as well as your skin and bone health. Vitamin C is also found in green chilies giving them the opportunity to help your body heal and repair itself. This vitamin also acts as an antioxidant fighting the affects of free radicals on your body.
1.5 lbs Carnitas, cooked and shredded
2 cans Great Northern Beans
6 cups Chicken Stock
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 Medium Onions, chopped
2 4oz cans Green Chilies, chopped
1/4 cup Sliced Jalapeños, chopped
3 tsp Cumin
1 1/2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Sour cream for serving
You can make this in a crockpot or in a large pot on the stove. Add all ingredients, except beans and sour cream, in your pot. Cook on low for an hour on the stove if you want a faster version, adding the beans in the last 15 minutes. I let mine cook all day in the crockpot and then I added the beans about 30 minutes before dinner.
To serve, fill your bowl with chili and top with one Tbsp of sour cream. Now eat!
