Chilaquiles Chili

This chili was inspired by the Mexican dish, chilaquiles [chee-lah-KEE-lehs]. The classic is often referred to as a “poor man’s dish” because it was designed to use up leftovers. But this rendition is certainly enjoyable for everyone.

Boneless, country-style ribs are easy to work with. Cut from between the pork shoulder and loin, they’re named for their rib-like shape.

Instructions

Roast jalapeños and garlic in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until softened and partially charred, 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board to cool then stem and seed jalapeños. Mince jalapeños and garlic in a mini food processor.

Toss pork with cumin, oregano, ½ tsp. salt, and ½ tsp. pepper.

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high until shimmering. Add pork and cook 3 minutes. Add onion and cook 2 minutes.

Stir in broth, tomatoes, and jalapeño mixture; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer chili 30 minutes. Stir in tortillas and simmer chili 10 minutes more.

Off heat, stir in cilantro; season chili with salt and pepper. Top servings with sour cream.
