EASY SHREDDED BEEF OR PORK ENCHILADAS
I Love to mimic things I eat at restaurants. I got this one from a Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant. It's so yummy and so simple not any spices but salt and enchilada sauce. Red or Green sauce, either will do. Save 1/2 of the meat in freezer for a future dinner.

Steps:
- Put the meat and the salt in a crock pot with lid, for approximately 4 to 5 hours on High, then put it on low for 1 hour. Meat should be falling apart. If you have a bone in the meat it should come off the bone, without a problem.
- Separate the meat with your fingers. Then toss it like you are tossing a salad kinda. Using your fingers to find thick pieces of meat you might of missed. Grind them in between your fingers separating each individual piece of meat. Get all of the fat out of the meat.
- Heat up the flour tortillas in microwave for 1 minute to soften.
- Roll approximately 1/2 cup meat and sprinkle with cheese in each tortilla lining them up vertically in a 9x13 baking pan.
- When you have all your tortillas you want rolled. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the pan of wrapped tortillas.
- Sprinkle the extra cheese over the top.
- Bake at 375°F until sauce is bubbling.
- Let sit out side the oven for approx 5 minutes.
- Put remaining ingredients in freezer for up to 2 weeks.

SHREDDED PORK ENCHILADAS
I first created this to use leftover pork roast from a large Christmas gathering we had. I now buy pork specifically for this. I've also used leftover taco meat.

Steps:
- 1. Rub pork w/ taco seasoning or mix taco seasoning w/ broth. Put pork in crockpot, pour broth over meat. Cook until meat shreds easily (takes mine about 6 hours on low).
- 2. Reserve cooking liquid. Shred pork & set aside.
- 3. Put enough oil in frying pan to cover bottom. Chop onion & sautee on medium heat. Shred zuchini & add to pan. Add cooking liquid, 1/4 C at a time, to keep moist. When vegetables are soft & liquid is mostly absorbed, add shredded pork (& enough cooking liquid so that pork doesn't dry out), soup, & 3 C cheese.
- 4. Spray 9 x 12 pan with cooking spray. Add enough red enchilada sauce to cover bottom of pan. Place 1/2 C or so pork mixture into tortilla, roll, & place in pan, seam side down. Continue until you're out of tortillas. Pour remaining sauce over tortillas to cover them. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Spray foil, & cover pan.
- 5. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove foil & back 2 more minutes. Let sit 5 minutes.
- 6. Serve w/ salsa, sour cream, onions, olives, or whatever taco fixings you'd like.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of pork shoulder and pork loin for the shredded pork.
- Make sure to cook the pork until it is very tender, so that it easily shreds.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the enchilada filling, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack.
- To make the enchiladas extra crispy, fry them in a pan with a little bit of oil before baking them.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
