Quick prep work leads to succulent, delicious, and exceptionally easy salsa verde pork for enchiladas, tamales, or burritos or even to eat all by itself! We use this pork in all sorts of things, but my husband’s favorite way is simply right out of the pot. I can’t trust him to do the shredding, because too much ends up in his mouth. This pork keeps well and gets even better after a day or two.
