Green Enchilada Pork Chili

How do you decide if you want to make a particular recipe? Is it the name - decadent chocolate brownies would call my name. Or maybe a picture of a luscious prime rib. I do a little of both.

When I saw this recipe, the picture was ok, but not sure about the name. I decided to try it anyway. So glad I did. It is an easy recipe that is packed with great flavors.

Pinto beans, green salsa and bite-size pieces of pork tenderloin are at the heart of this recipe. Instead of using pork tenderloin, I used some pulled pork that I had in the freezer. I am trying to use up items in the freezer before the holidays. 

Once you have everything chopped up, you add it to the Kraft dressing in the pot and cook it.

I served it with Tostitos - Hint of Lime chips. It was a great combination. Love these chips!
So I have learned my lesson - don't go by a recipe's name.

I did not put the chips in the bowl with the chili on top. Instead, I just used them to dip into the chili. The second time I made it, I used chicken and liked it just as well.
