The Best Pork Enchiladas Recipes

PULLED PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• 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

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine cooked pork, enchilada sauce, onion powder, 1/2 cup sour cream, green chilies, and one cup of the shredded cheese in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together tomato soup, remaining 1/2 cup sour cream, garlic powder, and cumin.
• Pour a thin layer of the tomato soup mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Spread pork mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas to enclose filling; place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the filled tortillas. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

CHEESY PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix the chili powder, salt, oregano and pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cubed pork chunks with the spice mixture and put into a large Dutch oven. Add 1 cup of the salsa verde, chicken broth, garlic and onions. Stir together with a wooden spoon. Put the pot on high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Transfer to the oven and cook, covered, until the pork is tender and easily shreds, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Once done, shred the pork in the Dutch oven with a pair of tongs or 2 forks.
• Turn the oven up to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the remaining 2 cups salsa verde and sour cream in a wide, medium bowl. Spread about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of a large rectangular casserole dish.
• Wrap the tortillas up in a damp paper towel and microwave 40 seconds. Lay the warm tortillas out on your cutting board. Dip into the sour cream-salsa mixture and fill evenly with the shredded pork mixture and sprinkle of the cheese. Roll the enchilada up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if using.

PORK ENCHILADAS RECIPE

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.

THE BEST ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan lightly brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic add in salt, pepper, ground cumin, and some jalapeño juice.
• When meat is light brown, drain fat from beef.
• Put meat back on stove and add both cans of diced tomato with green chilies and cilantro simmer until tomatoes are soft.
• At this point you may add some diced jalapeños, or just add more jalapeño juice (i like it hot!) add tomato sauce and enchilada sauce.
• Simmer on med-low heat with saucepan covered.
• While meat is simmering, you can start to cook the tortillas.
• Heat up canola oil in a pan on med-high heat.
• Add one tortilla at a time, sprinkling both sides with chili powder.
• Cook until outer ring is harder and the middle part of the tortilla is a bit softer (as long as the tortilla is no longer brittle) continue until all 30 tortillas are cooked.
• You may want to wipe off the oil after you remove them from the stove.
• Also, if the heat is too high, the chili powder may turn black, but this will not really affect it's taste, so don't worry, just turn down the heat a lil'!
• By the time all the tortillas are done, the meat should be perfect!
• (It should look kinda soupy) in a large square pan scoop a bit of the meat sauce and spread all over (lasagna pan is fine) lay a tortilla down and fill with meat and cheese (try not to get too much sauce with the meat) carefully roll up tortilla and place against the side of the pan.
• Start at the end of the pan and work your way across.
• After you can no longer fit any more rolled up tortillas in the pan, use the remainder of the meat sauce and cheese for the topping heat up oven to 400°F.
• Place in oven for about 20-30 mins or until cheese is melted and light brown and the tortilla edges that stick up from the sauce are a bit hard turn off your oven.
• For those that like onions on top of your enchiladas, you may add them at this time and place pan back into the oven (make sure oven is turned off!) if you have any meat sauce left, you may enjoy it over some home made Mexican rice!
• Tabasco sauce, salsa, and/or sour cream is perfect for the topping.
• Enjoy with some saltines!
