THE BEST PORK ENCHILADAS



The Best Pork Enchiladas image

Enchiladas from the Mexican state of Oaxaca are made with a red chile sauce. Ours has raisins to pull the fruit flavors from the ancho chiles and add a touch of sweetness. The pork is braised with aromatics and seasonings that turns into a deeply flavored blended sauce. Frying the tortillas a bit before rolling them gives them a durability that is important when assembling the dish.

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 red onion, sliced into thin rings
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 cup vegetable oil
One 1-pound piece boneless pork shoulder
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 ounces ancho chiles (about 9 chiles), stemmed and seeded (see Cook's Note)
2 ounces pasilla chiles (about 8 chiles), stemmed and seeded (see Cook's Note)
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup raisins
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
8 ounces quesillo or whole milk mozzarella, grated (see Cook's Note)
Lime wedges, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Rinse the red onion in cold water, breaking up the rings and removing any white membrane between the layers. Drain well. Toss the red onions, vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, turning once, until golden brown on two sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the yellow onions to the same pot, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ancho and pasilla chiles, bay leaves, raisins, broth and 1 tablespoon salt. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and simmer until the pork is falling apart and easily shreds, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Remove the bay leaves and discard. Transfer the pork to a medium bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid.
  • Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the pork. Use a potato masher to smash the pork into the sauce; it should fall apart completely. Remove any remaining large pieces of fat and discard. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat the remaining 1 cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
  • Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup shredded pork across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted but not brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Top the enchiladas with the pickled red onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

GARLIC PORK ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN CHILE SOUR CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Garlic Pork Enchiladas with Green Chile Sour Cream Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by treymoran

Number Of Ingredients 24

Filling:
4 lbs Pork Loin
1 head of garlic (8-10 cloves)
2 small/medium white onions
1 cup orange juice (with some pulp)
4 cups water
1 tablespoon Goya Adobo Seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Spanish olive oil
2 poblanos
Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 can or 1/2 cup cooked diced green chiles
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Assembly:
22 corn tortillas
3 cups grated jack or chihuahua cheese
11 lime wedges
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Make the filling first. You can do this the day before if you like (its better the second day anyway). Filling: Cut the pork loin into 1-2 inch chunks. Peel and rough chop the garlic. Rough chop 1 of the onions. In a stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork to the pot and season with salt, pepper and adobo. Cook until there is no pink showing on the pork. To the stock pot, add the water, orange juice, garlic and onion. Stir. Bring to a full rolling boil then reduce the heat to medium so the liquid is still slowly bubbling. Cook until the liquid is just about gone, stirring occasionally. While the pork is cooking, remove the stems and seeds from the Poblanos and cut length-wise into 1/4 wide strips. Cut the onion into quarters then slice into half moon shaped pieces. When there is just a little liquid left toss in the poblanos and sliced onions. Start breaking up the pork chunks with your stirring spoon until is all shredded. Leave a few small chunks...they are great for a burst of flavor. Turn up the heat to medium high and cook (stirring often) until pork mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pan and turn brown. The poblanos and onions should have cooked and softened by this time. Remove from heat. The sauce is easy to make and you can whip it up in just a few minutes. Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and make a roux. Cook the roux until the flour smell is gone. About 5 minute, whisking continually. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and whisk in the sour cream. Once the sour cream is incorporated add in the green chiles, black pepper and add the salt to taste. Simmer over low for 15 minutes. Assembly: Place 6 tortillas each in a Ziploc bag, seal it and microwave for 1 minute. This will steam the tortilla and leave them tender and not oily. Repeat this as needed. You dont want to do too many at once because they will cool and be difficult to work with. On a large sheet pan/jelly roll pan with the pan sitting with the longer side facing away from you add a couple tablespoons of sauce to coat the bottom. Take a tortilla, lay it in the sauce in the pan then flip it over so you have sauce on both sides. Fill the tortilla with the pork filling and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it up and move to the end of the pan, seam side down. Put as much filling as you can but don't over stuff them or they will fall apart. You should be able to fit 2 rows of 11 enchiladas on the pan (2 enchiladas across the narrow length and 11 down the longer lenght). Repeat this step until you fill up the pan. You should have enough room in the pan for 22 enchiladas. Keep spooning sauce into the pan as you need it. You want both sides of the tortillas to have at least some sauce. Warning...the tortillas will be excessively hot coming out of the Ziploc bags. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 400 degrees until the cheese on top is bubbling and starts to brown. Serve 2 enchiladas per person along with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of cilantro on top.

PORK ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN SAUCE



Pork Enchiladas with Green Sauce image

A citrusy, garlicky tomatillo sauce infuses pork tenderloin with bold flavor. You can also skip the pork and use the sauce as a salsa.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 pounds tomatillos (husks removed), washed and coarsely chopped
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
2 cups coarsely grated white cheddar (8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; cut into 4 chunks. Using two forks, shred pork; transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium; add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatillos and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook until tomatillos are soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a food processor, and blend until smooth; season sauce with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup sauce and corn to pork; mix to combine. Transfer remaining sauce to a shallow bowl.
  • Wrap stacked tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in sauce, place on a work surface, and fill with 1/4 cup pork mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up, and arrange, seam side down, in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese; cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until sauce is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake until cheese is browned, about 15 minutes. Let enchiladas cool in dish for 10 minutes, and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe green chiles. If you can't find fresh chiles, you can use canned or frozen chiles, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • If you like your enchiladas spicy, add more green chiles to the sauce. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • To make the enchiladas easier to roll, warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before filling them.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce, you can use your favorite tomato sauce instead.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:
