The Best Pork Enchiladas Food

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.

SHREDDED PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In morning or day before, place pork roast in crock pot. Cover with about 1 Cup of the salsa and dry onion soup mix. You can also add a little water but don't add too much as this will make it's own juice. cook on low for 8 hours or until it can easily be pulled aprt by a fork. Let cool, shred pork with two big forks, drain excess liquid. Add the rest of the salsa, the sour cream, half the olives, and the garlic chili sauce and chiles if using.
• Take three plates and pour some enchilada sauce on one plate, leave one empty, and put the shredded cheese on the other. Dip your tortilla to cover with sauce on both sides, place on empty plate, fill with some of the meat mixture and top with shredded cheese. Roll up tortilla best you can and place in baking dish. Continue until you run out of mixture or room in pan. Pour remaining enchilada sauce, salsa and shredded cheese on top and bake at 350 for approximately one hour or until browned and bubbly. Garnish with more black olives and green onion (if desired). Serve with more salsa and sour cream.

SUSAN'S PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Saute pork, peppers, onion, and garlic until pork is browned and onions are translucent. Add 1/2 can enchilada sauce to the pork mixture. Cook over medium heat until most of the sauce has evaporated. Remove from heat. Cool a few minutes, so the cilantro does not cook when added. Stir in cilantro until well mixed. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a frying pan and briefly fry on each side corn tortillas, one at a time. (You just want them to be softened, not crisped.) After frying, put them on several layers of paper towels to drain.
• Pour 1/2 can enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish (or similar pan.) Divide the pork mixture into the same number of portions as you have tortillas. Do the same with the Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up a portion of pork mixture and Jack cheese into each tortilla and place the roll seam-side down in the pan. Lining up the rolls side by side in the pan. It's OK if the sauce gets smeared on the tortillas and doesn't cover the bottom evenly. Pour the second can of enchilada sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
• Bake 20-30 minutes at 350F or until bubbly. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of cilantro.
• You could easily use leftover pork, chopped fine, in place of the ground pork and get the same results.

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.

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!
