How to Make Roasted Pork Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Prepare the Roasted Pork Filling:**
  3. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove onions from heat and cool completely.
  6. While onions cook, roast 2 lbs pork shoulder until tender (approx. 1.5 -2 hours at 350°F).
  7. Once cool enough to handle, remove excess fat and bone from the pork. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  8. In a large bowl, combine shredded pork, caramelized onions, 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies (drained), and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  9. **Assemble and Bake the Enchiladas:**
  10. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups chicken broth, ½ cup sour cream, and ½ cup salsa verde.
  11. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  13. Spread ½ cup of the sour cream mixture in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  14. Fill each corn tortilla (about 12-15) with approximately ¼ cup of the pork filling. Roll tightly and place seam-down in the prepared dish.
  15. Pour remaining sour cream mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
  16. Cover the dish with parchment paper and aluminum foil.
  17. Bake for 10 minutes covered, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  18. Let cool slightly before serving.
  19. Garnish with ½ cup crumbled Monterey Jack cheese and chopped cilantro before serving.
  20. Serve warm and enjoy!
