Today, I want to share with you a recipe I only learned a little while ago: Colorado Green Chili! The first time I tried this chili was at a friend's house and I was immediately hooked. It's delicious, a bit spicy, and has a slightly thick texture, which makes it completely irresistible. My friend taught me how to make it the traditional way, but I experimented with the recipe until I came up with a version that's quick and easy and will save you time in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Add the pork and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cumin, cilantro powder, and cayenne pepper; mix and continue cooking until the pork is slightly browned on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Remove pork from the pot and set aside.
