Ingredients

For the Pork:

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast, cut into cubes
  • 3 carrots, sliced into coins or shredded
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 28-oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 4-oz can chopped green chiles
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet.
