Pork and Cabbage Enchiladas

Created by: Howcan Team

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of pork shoulder, cooked and shredded
  • 1 head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 can of green chilies
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 2 cups of shredded cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
  • Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded pork, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the can of diced tomatoes, green chilies, and chicken broth to the skillet with the pork. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a layer of the cabbage mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon the pork mixture on top of the cabbage, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
