- Add 6 ounces of tomato paste afterward. Let the chili simmer for a while. After that, you'll need to add the roux.
- Melt 1/2 cup of lard over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan. Stir in the flour and 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon. Blend the ingredients together. As the roux thickens, stir constantly.
- Add small amounts of leftover chicken broth and water. Make the consistency easy to pour while not being too runny.
- To the green chili, add the roux. Blend the chili and roux together until well blended. Continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
- You can serve it with tortilla chips, eggs, or chips over breakfast burritos. You can also slow cook this green chili in a crockpot for several hours. Enjoy!
