---

• 1 6-8 lb pork butt or shoulder roast
• 1-2 cans diced green chilies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season the meat with garlic, salt and pepper. Place into a dutch oven pan or other large type roasting pan. Add water or chicken broth to bottom of dutch over (taking care to not pour over meat and wash seasonings off.) Put in oven for 2 1/2 - 4 hours until meat shreds (keep checking for tenderness.) Shred pork with two forks. (If you have a large roast and dont want to make all of it green chili, pull some out and set aside for another meal such as BBQ Pork)

Add onions, cumin and green chilies. Bring to a simmer on top of stove on medium heat. Season with salt to taste. When slighly boiling add cornstarch to thicken sauce (add a little at a time mixed with a couple tbsp. of water do not add just the powder to dish until thickend.) It should have the consistency of thick gravy. Put meat and some cheese on tortillas roll up.
