Step 5
Combine tomatillos, 1/2 the cilantro, jalape?o pepper, Anaheim pepper, serrano pepper, remaining cumin, and liquid smoke in a blender. Blend on high power and add to slow cooker.
Step 6
Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.
Step 7
Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return meat to slow cooker. Season with additional salt and pepper.
Step 8
Serve chili in bowls with Mexican cheese, sour cream, and remaining cilantro.
