Equipment

  • slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 2.5 lb boneless pork shoulder or pork butt roast
  • 2 15-oz cans diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained
  • 1 15-oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 15-oz can kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 6-oz can tomato paste
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for heat
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Trim the pork roast: Remove any large pieces of excess fat from the pork shoulder. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Dice and mince: Prepare the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic.
  • Layer veggies and beans: In a large 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the diced onions, bell pepper, minced garlic, diced tomatoes with chilies, black beans, and kidney beans.
  • Add tomato paste and spices: Pour in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using).
  • Place the pork roast on top: Nestle the pork roast over the layered ingredients, then pour in chicken broth around the sides. Drizzle olive oil over the pork.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours, or on HIGH for 5-6 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily.
  • Shred the pork: Remove the pork roast and place on a cutting board. Shred the meat with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat, then return shredded pork to the slow cooker.
  • Finish the chili: Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning as desired. Let chili cook another 15-20 minutes for flavors to meld.
  • Serve: Ladle chili into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy hot, with your favorite toppings.
