These enchiladas were easy to make using leftover pulled pork and a can of green chile enchilada sauce. Although I just eye-balled amounts, I'll attempt to provide amounts but if you have leftover pork and green chile enchilada sauce, simple make Green Chile Stew.
This recipe fills a 13"x9" dish but I opted for two smaller baking pans so we could eat one and freeze the other.
Green Chile Pork Enchiladas
About 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 (28 oz.) can green chile enchilada sauce
10 flour or corn tortillas (I used 6" flour)
About 2 to 2 1/2 cups pulled pork
About 2 to 2 1/2 cups shredded cheese — Cheddar or Mexican blend
Chili powder
Diced tomatoes, sour cream and chopped cilantro -- for serving
- Heat oil in a skillet of low Dutch oven. Add chopped onions and peppers and sauté until tender.
- Remove most of the onions and peppers; add enchilada sauce and heat through.
- Ladle enough sauce into the baking dish to cover bottom (use a 13"x9" baking pan or two smaller ones as preferred).
- Dip a tortilla into the sauce in the Dutch oven; then lay it on a work surface.
- Lay some pork down the center of the tortilla, add a little of the onion-pepper mixture and a sprinkling of cheese.
- Roll tortilla up tightly and place seam down in the baking pan.
- Repeat with remaining tortilla.
- Ladle enough remaining enchilada sauce over the top of rolled tortillas -- use enough to cover top.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese and chili powder.
- Cover lightly with foil — if you spray the foil with pan release, the cheese won't stick to the foil.
- Bake at 350° until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let sit about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with diced tomatoes, sour cream and chopped cilantro.
