Green Chili Pork Enchiladas
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 1 can (14 ounces) green enchilada sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream, for serving
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 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 and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Stir in the shredded pork, diced green chilies, and 1/2 cup of the green enchilada sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the pork mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining green enchilada sauce with the chicken broth. Pour the sauce mixture over the enchiladas, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious green chili pork enchiladas!
