For a spicier stew, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño along with the green chiles. Serve this stew with warm tortillas, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a complete and satisfying meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld together even more overnight! Consider searing the pork chunks in a hot pan before adding them to the slow cooker to develop a richer, more complex flavor.
