Cheese & Pork Enchiladas

Submitted by Debs Recipes

"Whenever I've made these scrumptious enchiladas they've been given thumbs-up all around. They are extra delicious made with Spicy Green Chile Verde Pork recipe #161036 for the cooked meat, but plain diced pork pieces will do in a pinch."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 12 enchiladas
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 2⁄3 cups grated Mexican blend cheese, divided
• 1⁄3 cup finely chopped onion
• 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• vegetable oil
• 2 cups diced cooked pork
• 1 (15 ounce) can green enchilada sauce

directions

1. Reserve 1/3 cup cheese; combine 2 1/3 cups cheese with onion and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, combine cooked pork (or chile verde pork) with green enchilada sauce; heat through then set aside.
3. Heat oil in small frying pan; soften tortillas, one at a time, by placing in hot oil for a few seconds on each side; drain tortillas on absorbent paper.
4. Divide cheese and onion mixture between tortillas; add 1/2 tablespoon sauce (avoid any large pork chunks which will go on top of the enchiladas) to each; roll tortillas tightly and place seam-side-down in a 9x13" baking pan that has been sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
5. Pour sauce evenly over top; sprinkle on reserved cheese; bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

Sorry, but these were really pretty bland. Should've used pepper jack cheese, maybe? I almost added some jalapenos; will definitely do this with the leftovers. Or maybe making my own sauce would make it better?

This should get a five star rating just for ease of preparation. I used leftover pork roast and I just nuked the tortillas in the microwave before rolling the enchiladas. Also, I omitted the onion because I'm lazy and didn't want to cut any up.

This was delicious and so easy to make- I couldn't find a 15 oz can of green enchilada sauce, so used a larger can of regular (red, mild) sauce. It was a big hit with my husband and son, so I will definitely add this to my repetoire!
