Pork Enchiladas

Step 1

Prepare pork carnitas ahead of time. A link is provided in the recipe card.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish. Pour about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the pork carnitas and diced green chilies, and mix well.

Step 4

To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous amount of the pork mixture in the middle of the tortilla. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the pork. Roll it up tightly, placing it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 5

Pour the red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Colby Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the enchiladas are warmed through and the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.

Step 9

Enjoy the enchiladas warm with cilantro or desired toppings!
