Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (14 ounces) red enchilada sauce
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked and shredded pork, 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, and the diced green chilies. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute to make them pliable.
- Place a spoonful of the pork mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and pork mixture.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
