Place in a skillet and fry over medium heat until lightly browned and some of the fat has been rendered. Remove the chorizo and set aside.

Add the onion and minced garlic to the skillet and saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomatillos, oregano, marjoram, thyme, pepper and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chipolte juice and stir. Add the shredded meat to the skillet, stir well and add 1 c of the reserved stock. Add the chorizo, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add more stock. Can be served like a stew or scooped into tortillas.
