Captain Jack’S Crockpot Chilequilles
- 4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 whole 3-5 Pound Pork Roast
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, Chopped Or Grated
- 32 ounces, fluid Chicken Stock
- 6 cups Water
- 8 ounces, fluid Can Of Tomato Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Mexican Oregano
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt, Or To Taste
- 1 teaspoon Pepper Or To Taste
- 28 ounces, weight Can Green Chilies, Drained And Sliced Into Strips
- 2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, Grated
- 1 bag Tortilla Chips- The Thicker The Better, 9 To 13 Ounce Bag
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown it for 2-3 minutes on each side. Then remove it to a crockpot. Add remaining oil into the skillet and saute onions until soft. When onions are soft, add a little chicken stock and stir to release the yummy brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more then pour the mixture over the pork in your crockpot.
- Next add to crockpot the remaining chicken stock, water, tomato sauce, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Stir it all around a bit.
- Cover crockpot and cook on high for 3 hours, then turn down to low and add green chilies and stir around. Cover and cook for 2 more hours.
- When finished, remove the roast to a dish and pull it apart/shred it with 2 forks and then add it all back into the crockpot. Stir to combine.
- To serve: Put chips in individual bowls or on deep plates and add grated cheese, then pour pork mixture over the chips and cheese and eat up. Eat up me hearties!
- Note: I only call this dish Captain Jack's because Monterey jack cheese is the best cheese for this dish and I am obsessed with Captain Jack.
