Cheesy Pork Enchiladas Recipes

THE BEST PORK ENCHILADAS

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.

PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine cooked pork, enchilada sauce, onion powder, 1/2 cup sour cream, green chilies, and one cup of the shredded cheese in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together tomato soup, remaining 1/2 cup sour cream, garlic powder, and cumin.
• Pour a thin layer of the tomato soup mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Spread pork mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas to enclose filling; place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the filled tortillas. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

LOW CARB CHEESY PORK ENCHILADAS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

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.

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).

SUPER EASY CHEESY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• First, you want to mix the first four ingredients together until they are really well combined. Seriously, you will not see any little shreds of cheese and it will have the texture of stiff play dough (this is important).
• Preheat your oven to 350 and grab a pan. I used an 11x7 inch oval baking dish, but you can also use an 8inch square.
• Pour about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the pan and swirl the pan until the bottom is coated.
• Reach in with your clean hands and grab about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture in your hands and shape into a log. Roll a tortilla around this log and place in the pan. Repeat for the rest of the cheese and tortillas.
• Pour the rest of the sauce on top, spreading it to cover.
• Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top, and place in the oven. Bake 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
• For OAMC: Freeze before cooking, thaw in refrigerator and bake according to directions.

CHEESE & PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Reserve 1/3 cup cheese; combine 2 1/3 cups cheese with onion and set aside.
• In a saucepan, combine cooked pork (or chile verde pork) with green enchilada sauce; heat through then set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• Pour sauce evenly over top; sprinkle on reserved cheese; bake at 400° for 20 minutes.
