Ingredients for Bbq Pork Enchiladas

  • Pork
  • White Onion
  • Chilies
  • 4 ounces panela cheese, crumbled
  • Red Enchilada Sauce
  • Colby Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8-10 (6-inch) corn tortillas

How to Make Bbq Pork Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the sautéed onions with 4 ounces of canned green chilies, chopped.
  4. Heat corn tortillas (about 8-10, 6-inch) in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce (about 1/2 cup) on the bottom of a 9x11 inch baking dish.
  6. Assemble the enchiladas: Fill each tortilla with approximately 1/2 cup shredded BBQ pork, 1 tablespoon of the onion-chili mixture, and a sprinkle of Colby Jack cheese (about 1 tablespoon). Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce (about 1 cup) over the assembled enchiladas.
  8. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 package (4 ounces) of crumbled panela cheese with 2 ounces of shredded Colby Jack cheese.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Uncover, sprinkle with the cheese mixture, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
