This is a little twist on the classic chili recipe, using green, fresh chilies as opposed to dried red chili peppers and seasonings. Try this on one of those cool brisk fall evenings and you and your family will be glad you took the extra time to prepare this delicious dish.

Amount Measure Ingredients
12 oz chicken breast diced ½” cubes
1-½ lbs Pork diced ½” cubes
4 large Anaheim chilies roasted and peeled, seeded then diced ¼” (canned maybe used but fresh is Much better)
2 large Pasilla chilies roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced ¼”
1 large jalapeno pepper chopped finely (optional for those who like the chili a bit spicier)

32 oz can mild green enchilada sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

1 lb dried Pinquito beans (aka “pink” beans) prepared in chicken stock and cooked until tender (canned may be substituted for convenience)
