Did I just find a Green Chile shortcut??
Green Chile is a labor of love in our house. On this particular day my husband wasn’t home to cook the diced pork and I was working with a pork loin. I used the same idea in coating it and frying it but I did it in slices verses diced which cut down huge on…
