Tender pork shoulder in an awesome tasting green chili sauce. Another great cool-evening meal. One of my favorite dishes that mom would make. Serve with tortillas.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Dredge meat in flour until evenly coated, shaking off excess.
Step 2
Melt shortening in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook until thoroughly browned on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add water, tomatoes, green chiles, salt, and oregano.
Step 3
Cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, 1 to 2 hours. Remove cover and simmer until green chili sauce reaches desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes more.
