Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Microwave the stack of tortillas for 30 seconds, flipping halfway through. Tuck 1 tortilla into each cup of 2 standard 12-cup muffin pans, gently pleating the edges of the tortillas so that they fit snugly. Roll 24 small balls of aluminum foil and place them insides the cups; they'll help the tortillas hold their shape. Bake until the tortilla cups have hardened slightly on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Leave the oven on.)
- Meanwhile, combine the black beans, enchilada sauce, chicken and corn in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Carefully spoon the filling into each cup until it is filled nearly to the brim. Sprinkle the cheeses on top of each tortilla cup. Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through, about 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the top of each cup evenly with desired garnishes and serve warm.
- Mash the avocados with the lime juice. Mix in the onion and season with salt and pepper. Flavor with one of the 3 following options.
- For pomegranate guacamole, fold in the pomegranate seeds. Top with more seeds before serving.
- For roasted jalapeno guacamole, fold in the diced roasted jalapenos.
- For feta guacamole, fold in the feta cheese. Top with more feta before serving.

Steps:
- For the tortilla bowls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush the tortilla bowls inside and out with the butter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just golden and firm, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- For the pork: Cut the pork into 3 pieces. Rub with the taco seasoning.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When hot, add the pork and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and some salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the onion begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and roast until the pork is cooked through and measures 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the pork rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice. Return the pork the skillet and toss to combine with the onions.
- For the vegetables and beans: Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers, jalapeno, onion and zucchini on a baking sheet with the oil and taco seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack of the oven at the same time as the pork, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Mix the beans into the vegetables on the baking sheet.
- For the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce: While the pork and vegetables roast, make the sauces. Stir together the ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, taco seasoning and chipotle and adobo sauce in a medium bowl.
- For the white BBQ sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, horseradish, granulated sugar and garlic in a separate medium bowl. Season with hot sauce and salt.
- For topping and serving: Fill 6 of the tortilla bowls with the vegetable and beans and 6 with the pork and onions. Drizzle the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce over 3 of each filling and sprinkle with the Cheddar. Drizzle the white BBQ sauce over the remaining 3 of each filling and sprinkle with the pepper jack. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with sour cream and sliced scallions.
OPEN-FACED ENCHILADAS
Friends made these when we visited the Army base at Garmisch, Germany back in 1976. The enchiladas are fun to make because everyone gathers around and adds their own toppings.

- If you don't have wonton wrappers, you can use egg roll wrappers instead. Just cut them into smaller circles.
- Be careful not to overcook the wonton cups. They should be crispy, but not brown.

- If you want to add some spice, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the barbecue sauce.
- Serve the enchilada cups immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
