Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the red sauce and filling:
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
14 guajillo chiles, seeds removed
4 ancho chiles, seeds removed
3 morita chiles
4 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon crushed Mexican or Italian oregano
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), fat trimmed
Kosher salt
2 bay leaves
For the assembly:
1 cup vegetable oil
8 (6-inch) white corn tortillas
10 ounces queso fresco, crumbled, plus more for serving
1 avocado
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
1/2 onion, sliced into thin rings
Lime wedges, (for serving)
Special Equipment
A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • For the sauce and filling:
  • Toast coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling pan often and adding cumin seeds during the last 30 seconds of cooking, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
  • Bring guajillo, ancho, and morita chiles and stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes to let chiles soften.
  • Transfer chile mixture to a blender and add toasted spices, garlic, tomato paste, and oregano and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Heat oil in a medium heavy pot over medium-high. Season pork with salt and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10-12 minutes. Pour off excess oil and add chile purée and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise pork until meat is very tender and shreds easily, 1 1/2-2 hours; season with salt.
  • Skim excess fat from chile sauce; discard bay leaves. Transfer pork to a large bowl. Let cool slightly, then shred with 2 forks. Mix 1/2 cup chile sauce into pork; season with salt. Set remaining sauce aside.
  • For the assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high until it bubbles immediately when edge of tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Dip both sides of each tortilla in chile sauce just to coat, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1 cup sauce down the length of a 13x9" baking dish. Spoon 1/4 cup pork mixture across the center of a tortilla and fold one side over filling, then continue to roll up tortilla. Place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in pan). Top with cheese and remaining sauce. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, purée avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor, adding more water to thin as needed, until smooth and creamy; season with salt.
  • Top enchiladas with onion slices and drizzle with avocado cream. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
  • Do Ahead
  • Pork can be braised 3 days ahead. Let cool in chile sauce (do not shred); cover and chill.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)

Using two forks, shred pork; transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium; add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatillos and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook until tomatillos are soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a food processor, and blend until smooth; season sauce with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup sauce and corn to pork; mix to combine. Transfer remaining sauce to a shallow bowl.
  • Wrap stacked tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in sauce, place on a work surface, and fill with 1/4 cup pork mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up, and arrange, seam side down, in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese; cover dish with aluminum foil.

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



Low Carb Cheesy Pork Enchiladas Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups (388.5g) prepared salsa, divided into 3 parts (1/2 cup each)
12 each (282g) all-purpose crepes (recipe)
3 lbs (1362g) Mexican-ish Shredded Pork and Sauce (recipe)
3 cups (339g) cheddar/colby cheese blend, shredded and divided into two halves
3/4 cup (172.5g) sour cream
6 sprigs (15g) cilantro leaves, fresh whole

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. Calories Fat Protein Carbs Fiber SA's Net Carbs Per Serving: 659.13 37.95g 60.45g 13.42g 2.6g 0.25g 10.57g Basic All-Purpose Ricotta Crepes: Ingredients 1/2 cup (124g) ricotta cheese, whole milk 4 large (200g) whole eggs, beaten 2 tbsp (24g) 'Swerve' or other sugar equivalent (optional) pinch of salt 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter Totals (of 7 Servings) Method: Add the ricotta, eggs, sugar equivalent and salt into a blender. 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).

SUSAN'S PORK ENCHILADAS



Susan's Pork Enchiladas image

I make many versions of enchiladas depending on what is in the fridge. This one I especially liked, so I wrote it down. It's a great way to use up leftover pork! You can spice it up more with additional jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce mixed in with the enchilada sauce. Feel free to adjust the garlic to your taste. You may need to add more oil as you fry the tortillas to keep them from sticking to the pan.

Provided by Cook In Northwest

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground pork
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 dash salt and pepper
2 (15 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
12 -14 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
1 -2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Saute pork, peppers, onion, and garlic until pork is browned and onions are translucent. Add 1/2 can enchilada sauce to the pork mixture. Cook over medium heat until most of the sauce has evaporated. Remove from heat. Cool a few minutes, so the cilantro does not cook when added. Stir in cilantro until well mixed. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan and briefly fry on each side corn tortillas, one at a time. (You just want them to be softened, not crisped.) After frying, put them on several layers of paper towels to drain.
  • Pour 1/2 can enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish (or similar pan.) Divide the pork mixture into the same number of portions as you have tortillas. Do the same with the Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up a portion of pork mixture and Jack cheese into each tortilla and place the roll seam-side down in the pan. Lining up the rolls side by side in the pan. It's OK if the sauce gets smeared on the tortillas and doesn't cover the bottom evenly. Pour the second can of enchilada sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
  • Bake 20-30 minutes at 350F or until bubbly. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of cilantro.
  • You could easily use leftover pork, chopped fine, in place of the ground pork and get the same results.

1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sour cream
12 6-inch-diameter corn tortillas
Pork Chili Verde , chilled
2 1/4 cups shredded asadero cheese
2 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped

Steps:

  • Char Anaheim chilies over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in plastic bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed and coarsely chop chilies.
  • Combine broth, 1/2 cup onion, tomatillos, jalapeño and garlic in medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Transfer to blender. Cool to room temperature. Add Anaheim chilies, cilantro and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Transfer to bowl. Whisk in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil 15x10x2-inch baking dish. Place 6 tortillas between 2 damp paper towels. Cook in microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute. Working with 1 warm tortilla at a time, dip tortillas into sauce; shake excess sauce back into bowl. Place tortillas on work surface. Spoon scant 1/4 cup Pork Chili Verde, 2 tablespoons cheese and 1 tablespoon onion down center of each. Roll up tortillas. Arrange enchiladas, seam side down, in dish. Repeat with remaining 6 tortillas. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover enchiladas, remaining sauce and cheese separately. Chill.) Top enchiladas with remaining sauce, then cheese.
  • Bake enchiladas uncovered until heated through, about 20 minutes (or 30 minutes if enchiladas have been refrigerated). Sprinkle tomatoes over and serve.

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb pork roast
14 oz chicken broth
1/2 onion, chopped
2 TBS chopped garlic
1 TBS cumin
1 TBS chili powder
1 tsp salt
28 oz red enchilada sauce
4 oz green chiles, diced
10 medium sized tortillas
8 oz Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Combine pork, chicken broth, onion, and spices in a slow cooker. 2. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. 3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 4. Remove pork from crock pot and shred using 2 forks. 5. In a large bowl, combine pork, 3/4 cup enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup liquid (from the crock pot). 6. In another bowl combine remaining enchilada sauce, 1/2 cup liquid and green chiles. 7. Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce mixture on the bottom of a 3 quart baking dish. 8. Divide pork mixture and half of cheese between the tortillas. 9. Roll tortillas and place them in the baking dish, seam side down. 10. Cover tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce mixture. 11. Cover pan with foil. 12. Bake for 25 minutes. 13. Remove foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. 14. Bake for another 5 minutes, until cheese is thoroughly melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soak them in warm water for a few minutes before filling them, to make them more pliable.
  • Make your own enchilada sauce: It's easy to make your own enchilada sauce from scratch, and it tastes much better than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for enchilada sauce in the article.
  • Don't overstuff the enchiladas: If you overstuff the enchiladas, they'll be difficult to roll and they'll fall apart when you bake them. Fill them just enough so that they're snugly filled.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and hot: The enchiladas are done baking when they're bubbly and hot. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Enchiladas can be served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Pork enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give pork enchiladas a try.
