Categories     Enchiladas

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons avocado oil, divided, or as needed
4 cups shredded cooked pork
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons frozen 100% orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups salsa verde
1 cup sour cream
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shredded pork, chopped onion, orange juice concentrate, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until onion is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove lid, increase heat to medium, and continue to cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 10 minutes. Transfer everything to a plate and allow to cool slightly. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine salsa verde and sour cream in a mixing bowl, stirring well. Spread about 1 cup of salsa verde mixture over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, reserving the rest.
  • Add remaining cooking oil to the cleaned skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Gently warm each tortilla in the oil, about 2 minutes per side, making the tortillas flexible. Add more oil, if needed.
  • Place a tortilla on a work surface and add 3 tablespoons of pork mixture and 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla gently around the filling, and place seam side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • When all tortillas are rolled up and in the dish, pour the reserved salsa-sour cream mixture over the filled tortillas.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven; sprinkle on remaining cheese and allow to melt while the enchiladas cool, about 5 minutes.
