Crock Pot Chile Verde

A paleo and low carb Crock Pot Chile Verde recipe that is a budget friendly crowd pleaser!

Crock Pot Chile Verde Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Lime Sauce is an easy, budget friendly, primal, paleo, and low carb meal that can be made with pork or chicken.

To save time you can use a paleo friendly, store bought, salsa verde sauce, like this one, or Trader Joes salsa verde, or you can make my salsa verde from scratch: homemade recipe I have done both, depending on how much time I have.

The pork stew meat is very inexpensive, so it is very economical for serving large groups and gatherings. I always make this when we have company, and serve it with lettuce shells, zucchini tortillas, or over cauliflower rice.

My guests always ask for the recipe and leave no left overs behind. The avocado cilantro lime sauce is ridiculous, really, it is addictive and you should double the batch so there is no fighting over it. Or is my crazy family the only one that fights over food?
