PULLED PORK ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a slow cooker. Add the pork roast, garlic, chipotle pepper, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Remove pork from slow cooker and reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Shred the meat with 2 forks. Taste and reseason with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
• While the pork is cooking, make the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the enchiladas.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the dish.
• Place about 1/4 cup of shredded pork down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with Monterrey Jack cheese (you should use about 1/2 of the cheese for the filling). Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Place the filled tortillas in the prepared pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake, covered with foil, for 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.

GREEN CHILE PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir pork, 2 cups cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green chiles and sour cream together until blended. Pour melted butter over top and mix again. Set aside.
• Wet 2-3 paper towels and wring out slightly so it's not dripping wet, but not completely dry either. Open wet paper towels and wrap a stack of corn tortillas in the paper towels. Microwave 1-2 minutes or until tortillas are hot and pliable.
• While tortillas are being warmed, spread about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish.
• Take a hot tortilla and spread about 3 tablespoons of filling down the center.
• Roll into a tight enchilada and place into baking dish. Repeat until no filling remains. Pour enchilada sauce overtop the finished rolled and filled tortillas. Top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
• Bake 20-30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

THE BEST PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Rinse the red onion in cold water, breaking up the rings and removing any white membrane between the layers. Drain well. Toss the red onions, vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, turning once, until golden brown on two sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the yellow onions to the same pot, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ancho and pasilla chiles, bay leaves, raisins, broth and 1 tablespoon salt. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and simmer until the pork is falling apart and easily shreds, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Remove the bay leaves and discard. Transfer the pork to a medium bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid.
• Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the pork. Use a potato masher to smash the pork into the sauce; it should fall apart completely. Remove any remaining large pieces of fat and discard. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 1 cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
• Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Spoon 1/4 cup shredded pork across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted but not brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Top the enchiladas with the pickled red onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

PORK ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; cut into 4 chunks. Using two forks, shred pork; transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium; add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatillos and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook until tomatillos are soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer to a food processor, and blend until smooth; season sauce with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup sauce and corn to pork; mix to combine. Transfer remaining sauce to a shallow bowl.
• Wrap stacked tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in sauce, place on a work surface, and fill with 1/4 cup pork mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up, and arrange, seam side down, in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese; cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake until sauce is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake until cheese is browned, about 15 minutes. Let enchiladas cool in dish for 10 minutes, and serve.
