Chile Verde – Pork Chile Verde Recipe

Chili Verde Main Pic

I really just can’t say enough about this Pork Chili Verde recipe.  But first off, just know that you don’t have to add the pork if you’re just wanting the Chili Verde.  This recipe is good to go either way and it’s as good as it gets.  If you don’t know by now, I’m a man of my word and I don’t post recipes unless they are the best of the best.  So be rest assured that this recipe, like the many before this one, is a winner.

You’re going to need a Good Green Enchilada Sauce to make this and I’ve included my recipe for that below, but you can always use a can if you’re feeling lazy or if you just don’t want it to taste amazing.  Also know that you can control the heat by adding or taking away the Jalapeno in this recipe all together.  But I feel like one pepper along with the Anaheim’s is a great balance of heat.  Even my kids were eating this without complaints and I felt like it had plenty of kick.  We ate it till it was gone.  So give this a try and let me know what you think!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps


Chicken Lettuce Wraps are Easy-Peasy
Not japanesey

Anyone that has had a Chicken Lettuce Wrap that didn’t just adore it must’ve been a RETARD! This is usually a dish prepared as an appetizer and is very often reinvented with substitutions of ingredients that were never even intended to be in the original recipe when this dish was created; so the bottom line is, if you are reading this, consider yourself lucky because I personally have made thousands of these from scratch when I worked for the king of Chicken Lettuce wraps.

Curiosity Killed the Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I spent about an hour today reviewing other posts, recipes and YouTube videos just to see how well everyone else was doing when it came to presentation of their recipe and different versions of the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed and I was very disappointed; wrong ingredients, substitutions, bad form in procedures in the cooking and more or less just plain inexperience. Now I understand substitutions because everyone more or less has their own personal tastes and also the lack of availability is a factor with ingredients when it comes to shopping for Chinese in a regular grocery store. But what bothers me the most is people putting name brand resturaunt titles on their recipes even though they’ve clearly changed most everything about the recipe itself. Of course they’re trying to gain a wider audience and more exposure which is fine, but I’m saying you’ve got no business teaching about something you are putting a resturaunt name to if you just don’t have the experience! Have the decency to give it a new name and make it your own or step the “F” off! Everyone has their own version of  Chicken Lettuce Wraps just not the audacity to claim it’s P.F. Changs!
