Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 12 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 2/3 cups grated Mexican blend cheese, divided

12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

2 cups diced cooked pork

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
1 19-ounce can red enchilada sauce
10 corn tortillas
2 cups pulled pork
1 15-ounce can black beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen fire-roasted corn
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (about 8 ounces)
Sour cream, sliced scallions and chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan and top with 3 corn tortillas, slightly overlapping and cutting as needed to fit. Top with half each of the pork, beans and corn; sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Top with 3 more tortillas and spread with another 1/2 cup enchilada sauce. Top with the remaining pork, beans and corn and sprinkle with another 1/2 cup cheese. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas; spread the remaining enchilada sauce on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake until hot and bubbling around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover, top with the remaining 1 cup cheese and continue to bake until melted and bubbling all over, about 10 minutes. Top each serving with sour cream, scallions and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will elevate your enchiladas to the next level.
  • Choose quality cheese for a rich and creamy filling. A blend of sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment with your favorites.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas. You want them to be easy to roll and fold, and you don't want the filling to burst out when you're cooking them.
  • Be careful not to overcook the enchiladas. They should be heated through but still slightly firm in the center.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Options include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Cheese pork enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
