comes from chili con carne (\u201cChili with meat\u201d)\u00a0which is Spanish for \u201cpeppers with meat.\u201d\u00a0 It was invented by the Spanish Canary Islanders\u00a0in San Antonio, Texas, and is even the official dish of Texas.\u00a0 The official chili has no beans in it and if you use beans it\u2019s technically not even chili.\u00a0 In this article I cover a bean-less dish.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite chili dishes to make is Chile Verde which means \u201cGreen Chili\u201d and it\u2019s very simple in composition.\u00a0 It has slow cooked pork, tomatillos, garlic, chicken broth, onions, and peppers such as jalapeno, Serrano, or even Habanero.\u00a0 I also added some cilantro to this dish for a citrus tone.\u00a0 As you will read, I like to put my chili on corn tortillas, add some lime, cilantro, queso fresco, and eat them taco style.\u00a0 The family loved this recipe!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Ingredients (Makes\u00a024 tacos)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 pounds pork
