THE BEST PORK ENCHILADAS



The Best Pork Enchiladas image

Enchiladas from the Mexican state of Oaxaca are made with a red chile sauce. Ours has raisins to pull the fruit flavors from the ancho chiles and add a touch of sweetness. The pork is braised with aromatics and seasonings that turns into a deeply flavored blended sauce. Frying the tortillas a bit before rolling them gives them a durability that is important when assembling the dish.

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 red onion, sliced into thin rings
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 cup vegetable oil
One 1-pound piece boneless pork shoulder
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 ounces ancho chiles (about 9 chiles), stemmed and seeded (see Cook's Note)
2 ounces pasilla chiles (about 8 chiles), stemmed and seeded (see Cook's Note)
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup raisins
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
8 ounces quesillo or whole milk mozzarella, grated (see Cook's Note)
Lime wedges, for squeezing

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.

PORK ENCHILADAS RECIPE

These pork enchiladas are packed with red sauce, cheese, and onions in soft corn tortillas. The meat is cooked in an Instant Pot for quick preparation.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Pork:
1 (4-pound) bone-in Boston butt roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons onion (minced)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (15-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
For the Enchiladas:
8 to 10 corn tortillas
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
For Serving:
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Trim fat off of pork. Try to get as much as you can, but you can also leave some for flavor.
  • Rub pork with salt, pepper, oregano, brown sugar, coriander, and chili powder.
  • Place roast in Instant Pot insert. Add garlic, onion, olive oil, enchilada sauce, chicken broth, and vinegar. Cover and allow it to marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour but up to 24 hours.
  • Place insert into the Instant Pot. Turn roast in the liquid. Cook on meat setting for 60 minutes. Allow steam to escape when timer goes off.
  • Remove roast from liquid and cool slightly. Shred meat with 2 forks until you have small pieces. You probably will not use all of the pork, you can set it aside for another recipe. You can also pull out the bone and use it for another recipe or dispose.
  • Leave liquid in the Instant Pot insert. Cook on sauté setting, uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce has reduced by one-third.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Add a 1/2 cup of sauce to shredded pork and toss to coat. Set aside pork and remaining sauce in separate bowls while you prepare tortillas.
  • Heat oil in a small sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add a tortilla to pan and cook for 20 seconds per side. Remove from oil with tongs and place on a plate. Continue until you have fried all the tortillas. They are not supposed to get crispy; the oil just helps to make them pliable.
  • Dip each tortilla into the sauce you set aside and coat both sides.
  • Stack tortillas on a plate until you've coated all of them. Pour a cup of sauce into bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Fill each tortilla with a 1/4 cup of pork, along with a few slices of red onion and a few tablespoons of grated Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Roll up tortilla around filling and place seam-side down into baking dish. Fill the baking dish tightly with enchiladas.
  • Pour another cup of the sauce of top of enchiladas and then top with remainder of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, uncovered, until cheese is melted and browned and sauce is bubbly.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your enchiladas taste their best. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender pork, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcook the pork. Pork can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it's just cooked through, about 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the tortillas are pliable. Tortillas that are too stiff will crack when you roll them. Warm them up in the microwave or oven before filling them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're baking the enchiladas, don't crowd them in the pan. They need space to cook evenly.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese are all popular options.

Conclusion:

Pork enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your enchiladas are perfect every time.
