Categories     Baked     Fast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (packed) Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) or other shredded meat (see notes)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup tinned black beans or red kidney beans (, drained)
1 can (15oz / 400g) corn kernels (, drained)

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over high heat. Add the pork carnitas and cook until the bottom is nicely browned - about 1 1/2 minutes. Do not turn, just make the bottom crispy (to keep the pulled pork as moist as possible), then remove the pulled pork into a bowl. It does not matter if the top isn't heated through, it will heat in the oven.
  • Add the corn, black beans, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese into the bowl and mix to combine.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of Enchilada Sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Place 1/2 packed cup of filling (from step 3) into a tortilla and roll up and place in the baking dish.
  • Pour over the remaining Enchilada Sauce, and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and scatter the cheese on, then bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

PORK ENCHILADAS RECIPE



Pork Enchiladas Recipe image

These pork enchiladas are packed with red sauce, cheese, and onions in soft corn tortillas. The meat is cooked in an Instant Pot for quick preparation.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Pork:
1 (4-pound) bone-in Boston butt roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons onion (minced)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (15-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
For the Enchiladas:
8 to 10 corn tortillas
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
For Serving:
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Trim fat off of pork. Try to get as much as you can, but you can also leave some for flavor.
  • Rub pork with salt, pepper, oregano, brown sugar, coriander, and chili powder.
  • Place roast in Instant Pot insert. Add garlic, onion, olive oil, enchilada sauce, chicken broth, and vinegar. Cover and allow it to marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour but up to 24 hours.
  • Place insert into the Instant Pot. Turn roast in the liquid. Cook on meat setting for 60 minutes. Allow steam to escape when timer goes off.
  • Remove roast from liquid and cool slightly. Shred meat with 2 forks until you have small pieces. You probably will not use all of the pork, you can set it aside for another recipe. You can also pull out the bone and use it for another recipe or dispose.
  • Leave liquid in the Instant Pot insert. Cook on sauté setting, uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce has reduced by one-third.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Add a 1/2 cup of sauce to shredded pork and toss to coat. Set aside pork and remaining sauce in separate bowls while you prepare tortillas.
  • Heat oil in a small sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add a tortilla to pan and cook for 20 seconds per side. Remove from oil with tongs and place on a plate. Continue until you have fried all the tortillas. They are not supposed to get crispy; the oil just helps to make them pliable.
  • Dip each tortilla into the sauce you set aside and coat both sides.
  • Stack tortillas on a plate until you've coated all of them. Pour a cup of sauce into bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Fill each tortilla with a 1/4 cup of pork, along with a few slices of red onion and a few tablespoons of grated Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Roll up tortilla around filling and place seam-side down into baking dish. Fill the baking dish tightly with enchiladas.
  • Pour another cup of the sauce of top of enchiladas and then top with remainder of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, uncovered, until cheese is melted and browned and sauce is bubbly.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces pork blade steak, diced
Garlic salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 4-ounce cans green chile peppers, drained and diced
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup New Mexico red chili powder
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Garlic salt

12 6-inch corn tortillas, toasted or lightly fried
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the green sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with garlic salt and pepper, add to the pan and brown on all sides. Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds, then add the chiles, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 3 cups water. Simmer until the pork is tender, about 1 hour. Combine the flour and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth, then whisk into the sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the red sauce: Process the chili powder, garlic and 5 cups water in a blender until smooth. Season the flour with garlic salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the beef in the flour, then add to the skillet to brown on all sides. Pour in the chili powder mixture and simmer until the beef is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Make the enchiladas: Preheat the broiler. Place 4 tortillas on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each with cheese, then top with green sauce on one side and red on the other. Repeat to make two more layers. Top the stacks with more cheese and broil until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mist a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry the eggs as desired, then season with salt and pepper. Top each enchilada stack with lettuce, tomatoes and a fried egg.

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 corn tortillas
Oil (optional)
1 1/2 to 2 cups red chile sauce, recipe follows
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 small chopped onion
2 fried eggs

Top this with cheese and onion and more sauce and put another dipped tortilla on top and repeat this 2 times. Heat in the oven or under the broiler until cheese melts and top with a fried egg. Garnish the plate with the lettuce and tomato. You can serve this with fried potatoes or pinto beans.

(Use 6 to 8 pods of chile and 2 cloves of garlic at a time, which will make the puree smoother and easier to work with.) Add more water as needed to get a medium consistency. In a sauce pan, add pureed chile with Mexican Oregano and salt to taste. Bring to a slow boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes. Pork can be browned and added to sauce while simmering.
