Easy Pork Enchiladas

pork

garlic

jalapeno

tsp cumin

tbsp honey

chicken broth

jarred salsa verde

heavy cream

14-16 small corn or flour tortillas (see note)

cheese (cheddar, monterey jack,

scallions

cilantro

Lime wedges

Cook ground pork until almost completely browned, drain any excess grease.

Add garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and honey. Cook 2-3 minutes.

Add chicken broth and salsa verde, cook 2-3 minutes.

For the Filling

Combine all ingredients, stirring to combine well.

For the Sauce

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Spread about 1/3 cup of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

I am a big fan of Pyrex and this baking disheven comes with a cover.

If using corn tortillas, lightly char the tortillas (one at a time) on a gas burner or under the broiler (all at the same time), this only takes 1-2 minutes.

OR If using flour tortillas, microwave all the tortillas together for 30-45 seconds until soft and pliable.

Dip prepared tortillas in sauce, coating both sides.

Fill with approximately 2 tablespoons of meat filling and 1 tablespoon of cheese.

Wrap tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish.

Repeat until filling is gone, I usually get 14-16 enchiladas from the recipe (see note).

Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon

Top with remaining cheese.

Cover with foil (see note) and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Top with scallions and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

For Assembly and Baking

This pulled pork enchiladas recipe is made with fall-apart pork, refried beans, gooey cheddar cheese, and mouth-watering sour cream enchilada sauce. You’ll be reaching for seconds and thirds before you’ve finished your first plate!

Pulled Pork Enchiladas

olive oil

onion ((chopped small but not diced))

red bell pepper ((chopped small but not diced))

salt

garlic paste ((or 2 whole cloves, crushed))

pulled pork

flour tortillas ((or corn tortillas))

refried beans ((or more, to be slathered in the enchiladas))

sour cream enchilada sauce ((or more))

salsa verde

cheddar cheese ((shredded))

Heat a wok or sauté pan on medium. Once it heats up, add oil and let that heat up until it shimmers.

Add onion, pepper, garlic and salt.

Sauté for 5 - 8 minutes - my wok cooks it in 5.

Turn oven on to 350 F.

Slather some refried beans on the tortillas.

Add veggies and then a healthy serving of pulled pork on top.

Spoon a few tablespoons of the pulled pork sauce in a baking dish - or use enchilada sauce. This will prevent the enchiladas from sticking.

Roll up enchiladas and place seam side down in a baking dish.

Make sour cream enchilada sauce.

Ladle as much sauce as you like on the enchiladas and sprinkle as much cheese on top.

Bake for 25 minutes.

Plate enchiladas.

Pork Enchiladas

pork carnitas

red enchilada sauce

oz diced green chilies

Monterey jack cheese, (shredded)

Colby jack cheese, (shredded)

8-12 flour tortillas

flour tortilla

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Enjoy the enchiladas warm with cilantro or desired toppings!
