Green Chile Pork Enchiladas Recipes

GREEN CHILE PORK ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir pork, 2 cups cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green chiles and sour cream together until blended. Pour melted butter over top and mix again. Set aside.
• Wet 2-3 paper towels and wring out slightly so it's not dripping wet, but not completely dry either. Open wet paper towels and wrap a stack of corn tortillas in the paper towels. Microwave 1-2 minutes or until tortillas are hot and pliable.
• While tortillas are being warmed, spread about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish.
• Take a hot tortilla and spread about 3 tablespoons of filling down the center.
• Roll into a tight enchilada and place into baking dish. Repeat until no filling remains. Pour enchilada sauce overtop the finished rolled and filled tortillas. Top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
• Bake 20-30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

GREEN CHILE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Prepare all of the veggies being used, set aside and preheat the oven to 375°F.
• If using fresh pork shoulder steaks: Remove excess fat from 1½ pounds of pork shoulder steaks. Season with salt, garlic powder, cumin powder and onion powder then slowly simmer in oil in a skillet till tender. When the pork has completed cooking set it aside.
• If using shredded pork, leftover chicken, leftover cooked roast beef, leftover cooked steak: shred the meat and set aside. Meanwhile, gently sauté the chopped onions and garlic with oil in a skillet for about 5 minutes and mix into the reserved meat mixture and set aside.
• If using fresh ground beef or turkey, sauté it with the onions, garlic and ground cumin in a frying pan till the beef is brown and no longer pink. Drain off the fat and set aside.
• Moisten six sheets of paper towels, wrap them around the tortillas and microwave them for 45 seconds on high power so to soften them.
• Spoon 1 Tbsp of the reserved enchilada sauce mix over each tortilla, spoon ~ ¼ cup of meat mixture and a little cheese on top and roll up the tortillas. Smear ½ cup of the sauce on the bottom of an 8x11 baking dish and place the rolled tortillas in the dish.
• Add any remaining meat to the bowl of the enchilada sauce and stir well. Pour this mix over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over the enchiladas and bake for 15 - 20 minutes in the preheated oven at 375°F or till the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and serve with the toppings as described above. I like to serve this with a mixed green salad on the side.
• I like the KISS principle of "keep it simple stupid". For desert, I serve a simplified version of fried ice cream. I roll scoops of vanilla ice cream in crushed frosted corn flakes, add some sliced bananas and squirt a little of chocolate syrup over each serving. Many of you didn't know how to fake a fried ice cream desert, did you?

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.

GARLIC PORK ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN CHILE SOUR CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Make the filling first. You can do this the day before if you like (its better the second day anyway). Filling: Cut the pork loin into 1-2 inch chunks. Peel and rough chop the garlic. Rough chop 1 of the onions. In a stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork to the pot and season with salt, pepper and adobo. Cook until there is no pink showing on the pork. To the stock pot, add the water, orange juice, garlic and onion. Stir. Bring to a full rolling boil then reduce the heat to medium so the liquid is still slowly bubbling. Cook until the liquid is just about gone, stirring occasionally. While the pork is cooking, remove the stems and seeds from the Poblanos and cut length-wise into 1/4 wide strips. Cut the onion into quarters then slice into half moon shaped pieces. When there is just a little liquid left toss in the poblanos and sliced onions. Start breaking up the pork chunks with your stirring spoon until is all shredded. Leave a few small chunks...they are great for a burst of flavor. Turn up the heat to medium high and cook (stirring often) until pork mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pan and turn brown. The poblanos and onions should have cooked and softened by this time. Remove from heat. The sauce is easy to make and you can whip it up in just a few minutes. Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and make a roux. Cook the roux until the flour smell is gone. About 5 minute, whisking continually. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and whisk in the sour cream. Once the sour cream is incorporated add in the green chiles, black pepper and add the salt to taste. Simmer over low for 15 minutes. Assembly: Place 6 tortillas each in a Ziploc bag, seal it and microwave for 1 minute. This will steam the tortilla and leave them tender and not oily. Repeat this as needed. You dont want to do too many at once because they will cool and be difficult to work with. On a large sheet pan/jelly roll pan with the pan sitting with the longer side facing away from you add a couple tablespoons of sauce to coat the bottom. Take a tortilla, lay it in the sauce in the pan then flip it over so you have sauce on both sides. Fill the tortilla with the pork filling and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it up and move to the end of the pan, seam side down. Put as much filling as you can but don't over stuff them or they will fall apart. You should be able to fit 2 rows of 11 enchiladas on the pan (2 enchiladas across the narrow length and 11 down the longer lenght). Repeat this step until you fill up the pan. You should have enough room in the pan for 22 enchiladas. Keep spooning sauce into the pan as you need it. You want both sides of the tortillas to have at least some sauce. Warning...the tortillas will be excessively hot coming out of the Ziploc bags. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 400 degrees until the cheese on top is bubbling and starts to brown. Serve 2 enchiladas per person along with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of cilantro on top.
