For a richer flavor, consider using pork shoulder (Boston butt) instead of lean pork loin. The extra fat will render and create a more succulent stew. Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preference. For a spicier stew, use hot green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve with warm tortillas, rice, beans, or your favorite Mexican sides. Garnish with avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
