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.

Did someone say BBQ Mexican fusion? These pulled pork enchiladas add a rich, smoky spin on classic cheesy enchiladas. Tender BBQ pulled pork is mixed with veggies and cheese, wrapped in a tortilla, slathered with BBQ enchilada sauce, and generously topped with melty, gooey monterrey cheese. The BBQ flavor adds a hickory smokiness that works so well with the enchiladas!

Pulled Pork Enchiladas Recipe

pork

onion

red pepper (minced)

enchilada sauce

bbq sauce

corn (thawed)

jack cheese

flour tortillas

Make pork

Start by either making the bbq pulled pork or using leftovers.

saute veggies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and red pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they soften.

make sauce

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the enchilada sauce with the bbq sauce

mix filling

Add the pulled pork, sauteed veggies, corn, and ½ cup of cheese to a large bowl. Pour ½ cup of enchilada sauce over top and mix well.

assemble enchiladas

Spread ½ cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9×11-inch baking dish. Divide the enchilada filling between 8 tortillas – use ½ cup per tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

add sauce

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and spread it to the edges. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.

bake enchildas

Bake the enchiladas for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are bubbly.

I really appreciate this easy leftover pulled pork recipe. The first time I made it I realized we didn’t love the bbq sauce in the enchilada sauce recipe. I added it to the virgin (unsauced pulled pork) instead and used regular enchilada sauce. Much better!

Just made this.  Overall pretty good but a little too saucy and a little too sweet.  If I make it again, to increase the savory factor, I will probably cut the enchilada sauce by a 1/4 cup and only use 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce, though I suppose it depends on how sweet the sauce is.  I would also add the whole onion instead of just a half.

Yes - I love pulled pork recipes and this enchilada was amazing! It was the perfect weekend dinner for us!

These pulled pork enchiladas were incredibly flavorful! I can hardly wait to make them again!

Thank you for this recipe, proper Mexican comfort food! They look amazing

These pulled pork enchiladas are made with leftover pull pork, two types of shredded cheese, crispy fried onions and barbecue sauce, rolled in flour tortillas, enchilada sauce, and more cheese than baked until the cheese is hot and bubbly. So easy and so delicious.

barbecue sauce

chicken broth

8-10 flour tortillas (burrito size)

cheddar cheese (shredded)

Pepper Jack cheese (shredded)

French’s® onion

red enchilada sauce

Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add leftover pulled pork, bbq sauce and broth. Stir. Cook until heated through.

Pour a little sauce in the bottom of the baking dish and spread so the bottom is covered.

Heat up tortillas and then take one tortilla at a time and add pork, a handful of cheese, fried crispy onions and roll up.

Place at one end of the baking dish and repeat until the pan is full.

Top with the remaining sauce, top with the rest of the cheese.

Cover with foil and bake until the cheese is hot and bubbly, approximately 25 minutes.

Remove foil and let bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Carefully remove from the oven, top with sliced green onions and sour cream, if desired.

I was pleasantly surprised at how incredible these enchiladas are! I had leftover smoked pulled pork and followed the recipe as written. I would not change one thing, and as I cook alot, I tend to tweak things. No tweaking necessary!
