Green Chile Pork Skillet with El Picante
Turn everyday pork into a flavor-packed fiesta with this quick and easy Green Chile Pork Skillet. Cubed pork loin gets a golden sear, then simmers in a vibrant bath of El Picante Salsa Verde, letting the tangy tomatillos, chile peppers, and peppers create a rich, zesty sauce that clings to every bite.
The secret sauce? A jar of El Picante Salsa Verde—choose from All Natural, Verde, or Diablo—to infuse depth and authentic Tex‑Mex flavor without extra prep. Once cooked, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve this savory skillet over rice, inside warm tortillas, or as the star of a taco night.

Ingredients
- 2 cups El Picante salsa Verde
- 2 1⁄2 lbs boneless pork loin trimmed of all fat and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1⁄4cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup parsley
Directions
- Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray and return it to medium-high heat.
- Add half of the pork cubes and sear, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the browned pork to a plate, then repeat the process with the remaining pork.
- Return all the pork to the skillet and pour in the El Picante salsa Verde. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
