THE BEST PORK ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas from the Mexican state of Oaxaca are made with a red chile sauce. Ours has raisins to pull the fruit flavors from the ancho chiles and add a touch of sweetness. The pork is braised with aromatics and seasonings that turns into a deeply flavored blended sauce. Frying the tortillas a bit before rolling them gives them a durability that is important when assembling the dish.

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.

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.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Spread 1/3rd of the salsa evenly on the bottom of a 13X9 baking pan. On a plate, spread another 1/3rd of the salsa. Carefully dip a crepe into the salsa. This will coat one side of the crepe with salsa. Place a small amount of pork and some of the reserved cheese into the crepe. Roll it tightly. Repeat this process, placing each rolled crepe against one side of the baking pan, above the salsa. Then, place the next crepe alongside the previous crepe, until the pan is full or you've run out of ingredients. When the rolling process is completed, take the remaining salsa and spread it evenly on the top of the enchiladas. Top the enchiladas with the remaining ½ of the grated cheese. Bake until lightly brown and bubbly, roughly 45 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro leaves. Calories Fat Protein Carbs Fiber SA's Net Carbs Per Serving: 659.13 37.95g 60.45g 13.42g 2.6g 0.25g 10.57g Basic All-Purpose Ricotta Crepes: Ingredients 1/2 cup (124g) ricotta cheese, whole milk 4 large (200g) whole eggs, beaten 2 tbsp (24g) 'Swerve' or other sugar equivalent (optional) pinch of salt 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter Totals (of 7 Servings) Method: Add the ricotta, eggs, sugar equivalent and salt into a blender. Blend, until combined and smooth. Set aside. Heat a lightly buttered crepe or Teflon pan over medium-low heat. Depending on the size of the pan, add just short of ¼ cup of batter to the pan, and spread it evenly. If necessary, pick up the pan and deliberately tilt the pan in a variety of directions, directing the flow of the batter around the base of the pan, until it completely covers the base of the pan, like a very thin pancake. Once the edges start to brown and curl, loosen the crepe with a spatula and flip it, to brown the other side. Repeat this processes, placing each completed crepe on a paper towel. Serve hot, or layer between paper towels and refrigerate or freeze for later use. Mexican-ish Shredded Pork: Ingredients 2 tbsp (27g) light olive oil 1 medium (110g) onion, thinly sliced 4 each (12g) garlic cloves, minced 2 each (1135g) pork tenderloins, cut into halves and cleaned (or equivalent pork shoulder, cut into 4 large chunks) 2 tbsp (12g) ancho pepper, powdered 2 tbsp (12g) cumin seed, ground 1 tbsp (6g) coriander seed, ground 2 each (13.33g) fresno chillies (like a red jalapeño), seeds removed and very thinly sliced 1/4 cup (61g) lime juice, freshly squeezed salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste Totals (of 8 Servings) Method: Place a medium-large soup pot on the stove, over medium heat. Make sure you have a lid. Add 1 tbsp of the olive oil to the pot, then sweat your onions and garlic, until translucent. Adding a little salt and pepper will help this process and give better flavor. Pre-heat a large sauté pan, on the stove. Season the pork with a mixture of ancho powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, add your remaining olive oil and quickly spread it around the bottom of the pan. Add the pork to the sauté pan and sear the outside of the pork. When one side is nice and browned, turn it 90 degrees and sear a new side. When the pork has been nicely browned on all sides, add all the pork to the onions and garlic. Add your fresno peppers and lime juice to the pork, onions and garlic. Stir. Watch the pot. When it begins to simmer, turn the heat down to a low simmer. Allow to simmer for roughly 2 hours, stirring and turning the pork, occasionally. When the pork is soft and tears easily with a fork remove the pork and cut into large bite sized chunks. Season the pork, to taste. Add a little more salt and perhaps a touch more lime juice (I tend to like a lot in mine).

Ok, so it's not exactly enchiladas, and not really goulash. It's just a great lunch recipe for those on Atkin's or another low carb diet. Would go well with some green salsa! One could also substitute chicken for the pork.
