SLOW COOKER PORK ENCHILADAS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Slow Cooker Pork Enchiladas Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb pork roast
14 oz chicken broth
1/2 onion, chopped
2 TBS chopped garlic
1 TBS cumin
1 TBS chili powder
1 tsp salt
28 oz red enchilada sauce
4 oz green chiles, diced
10 medium sized tortillas
8 oz Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Combine pork, chicken broth, onion, and spices in a slow cooker. 2. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. 3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 4. Remove pork from crock pot and shred using 2 forks. 5. In a large bowl, combine pork, 3/4 cup enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup liquid (from the crock pot). 6. In another bowl combine remaining enchilada sauce, 1/2 cup liquid and green chiles. 7. Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce mixture on the bottom of a 3 quart baking dish. 8. Divide pork mixture and half of cheese between the tortillas. 9. Roll tortillas and place them in the baking dish, seam side down. 10. Cover tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce mixture. 11. Cover pan with foil. 12. Bake for 25 minutes. 13. Remove foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. 14. Bake for another 5 minutes, until cheese is thoroughly melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn or flour tortillas can be used for enchiladas, but corn tortillas are more traditional. If using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling and rolling.
  • Make sure the filling is flavorful. The filling is the heart of the enchilada, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of protein, vegetables, and spices to create a filling that's both delicious and satisfying.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and will also make them more likely to fall apart. Aim to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce. The enchilada sauce is what brings all the flavors of the dish together. Use a sauce that's flavorful and has a good level of spice. If you're using a store-bought sauce, be sure to taste it before using it and adjust the flavor as needed.
  • Cook the enchiladas until they're bubbly and hot. The enchiladas should be cooked until they're bubbly and hot in the center. This will ensure that they're cooked through and that the flavors have had a chance to meld together.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker enchiladas are a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give slow cooker enchiladas a try.
