I’m really into dried figs right now. They remind me of when I was younger and ate the sh*t out of Fig Newtons. Holy balls those lil’ cookies of happiness really got me going. I could easily eat a whole box of those. Who am I kidding, I could STILL eat a whole box. The seeds give a little crunch to a soft cookie and make life wonderful. People who don’t like Fig Newtons know nothing. But if you don’t like the cookie version….how about the dried fruit version? Stupid good.
Anywho, I’m talking so much about cookies BECAUSE there are literally 9 DOZEN cookies sitting on top of my microwave on the counter. No, they are not paleo. Yes, they are pure sugar and flour. And yes, they make me drool everytime I walk by them. And think about how many times I walk through the kitchen in one day…holy crap…that’s a lot of drooling. Mopping the floor is easy, I guess. Terrible joke. But seriously, these cookies never leave. That’s probably because my roommates are extremely thin and have something called self control. I have self control in the fact that I just make paleo desserts instead. Or consume mass amounts of dried figs. Or pecan coconut butter. Sh*t that stuff is good. Just you wait. JUST YOU WAIT.
You know what’s weird? Old Navy commercials. Really weird.

It made a lot Jenny but better safe then sorry. I'd say go with 3 lbs so u for sure have leftovers. This probably made about 5-6 meals for me I think, plus some snacking of course
Just put this together for New Year's Eve! I'm excited to try it.
How'd it turn out Sarah?!
On day 2 of Whole30 and I am SUPER excited to try this recipe!! I feel like I need FLAVOR! haha I'm not craving sugar as much as chips and all that not good stuff….going to the store tomorrow for the ingredients!! 🙂
I am doing this. Oh yes, NOMNOM!
Let me know how it turns out Melissa!
It. Was. FABULOUS! My husband kept noshing on it and taking breaks to say “o man, this is so good. . . ” I am definitely keeping this one in the rotation! THANK YOU!
Faaaantastic Melissa! Glad it turned out delish!

OMG! Husband isn’t Paleo like I am but he LOVED this!!!! Still drools over it when he sees it! 🙂 Thanks!!! Super easy and exceptionally tasty!
Good!! That’s great new Rebecca!
I just bought a 4.5 pound boston butt (bone in) to make this recipe (and have leftovers). I am wondering… if I have doubled the meat should I double the spices? I plan to use a 14 oz can of tomato. Also, I am having a hard time finding anaheim chilis at my two local grocery stores… idea? Thanks!!
Definitely double your spices and maybe think about adding another can of tomatoes. I found my anaheim at Sunflower Market but a Trader Joes or Whole Foods would probably have it. Or a specialty store. Not sure when they are ‘in season’
I just want to add, in case the question comes up again about anaheims. Poblanos can be substituted (and are similar) so if you can’t find anaheim use extra poblano.
This dish is fantastic!!! My friend made me aware of your site and I had a hard time deciding what to try first.
Couldn’t find canned chili so I substituted with three pepperoncini and dumped a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes in.
When I was preparing all the peppers I thought for sure this must be out-of-this-world-spicy, but no! Spicy – yes. But tasty-spicy!!
I’ve been noshing on it all day. Breakfast lunch and dinner. And snack. And snack 2. And dessert.
Thank you!!!!!
Glad you liked it Sue!!!
Do you think I can make this with a pork tenderloin? I hope so, it’s ready to go!!
I’m not sure it will shred the same way BUT you never know!!
