Pork and Black Bean Enchiladas with Green Chili Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder, cooked and shredded
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cans (4 ounces each) diced green chilies
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded pork and black beans, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the diced green chilies and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the green chilies to a blender. Blend until smooth, then return the mixture to the saucepan. Stir in the sour cream and chopped cilantro, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the green chili sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute to make them pliable. Spoon the pork and black bean mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining green chili sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the enchiladas to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
