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!
