Using leftover Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) or other shredded meat, it takes a mere 15 minutes to assemble this dish to pop into the oven, making this a sensational mid week meal! Note that the Pork Carnitas used in this recipe is already seasoned and flavoured so if you substitute with an unseasoned meat then please refer to the notes for seasonings to add to the filling mixture.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (packed) Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) or other shredded meat (see notes)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup tinned black beans or red kidney beans (, drained)
1 can (15oz / 400g) corn kernels (, drained)
2 cups shredded cheese ((any good melting cheese))
8 tortillas
3 cups (750ml / 25oz) Enchilada Sauce ((homemade or store bought))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over high heat. Add the pork carnitas and cook until the bottom is nicely browned - about 1 1/2 minutes. Do not turn, just make the bottom crispy (to keep the pulled pork as moist as possible), then remove the pulled pork into a bowl. It does not matter if the top isn't heated through, it will heat in the oven.
  • Add the corn, black beans, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese into the bowl and mix to combine.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of Enchilada Sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Place 1/2 packed cup of filling (from step 3) into a tortilla and roll up and place in the baking dish.
  • Pour over the remaining Enchilada Sauce, and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and scatter the cheese on, then bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds boneless pork butt, cut into 3-inch chunks
3 cups salsa verde
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 medium onion, quartered
1 cup light sour cream, plus more for serving
10 medium flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Fresh cilantro, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mix the chili powder, salt, oregano and pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cubed pork chunks with the spice mixture and put into a large Dutch oven. Add 1 cup of the salsa verde, chicken broth, garlic and onions. Stir together with a wooden spoon. Put the pot on high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Transfer to the oven and cook, covered, until the pork is tender and easily shreds, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Once done, shred the pork in the Dutch oven with a pair of tongs or 2 forks.
  • Turn the oven up to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the remaining 2 cups salsa verde and sour cream in a wide, medium bowl. Spread about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of a large rectangular casserole dish.
  • Wrap the tortillas up in a damp paper towel and microwave 40 seconds. Lay the warm tortillas out on your cutting board. Dip into the sour cream-salsa mixture and fill evenly with the shredded pork mixture and sprinkle of the cheese. Roll the enchilada up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if using.

PULLED PORK TAMALE CASSEROLE



Pulled Pork Tamale Casserole image

From time to time, I cook a pork shoulder and pull the pork to be used with a few different meals. This is a recipe I came up with that may not be a traditional tamale but the ingredients meet the criteria and it is a filling comfort food. There is no reason why you couldn't substitute shredded chicken or ground beef for the pork.
