chile verde

Pork in salsa

Chile verde is a Mexican and Southwestern American dish of pork or chicken braised in a tangy green sauce made from tomatillos and roasted green chiles.

The name is Spanish for "green chile," referring to the sauce's color.

It's typically served with rice, beans, and tortillas: We ordered the chile verde plate with extra salsa.
