Pork Enchiladas with a savory pulled pork filling rolled up in corn tortillas, topped with enchilada sauce, and finished with a creamy cheese sauce. Add your favorite enchilada toppings, and you get a hearty and delicious dinner loaded with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce, divided
  • 12 (5-inch) white corn tortillas, warmed
  • 3 1/4 cups pulled pork (see note)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spread ¾ cup of enchilada sauce in a 9×13” baking dish.
  2. Fill each tortilla with about ¼ cup of shredded pork and roll them up. Place them in the baking dish and pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top.
  3. Place the shredded pepper jack cheese in a small saucepan. Add the cornstarch and toss the cheese, so it’s coated evenly. Add the salt and half and half.
  4. Warm the mixture over medium to medium-high heat. As it heats, whisk until a sauce forms. Take it off the heat so it can thicken. This will only take a couple of minutes.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  6. Bake the enchiladas for 30 minutes, and then take the foil off. Bake them for another 10 minutes or until they are hot and the shredded cheese is melted.
  7. Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, salsa, diced onion, or chopped cilantro.

Notes

Pulled pork: You can use leftover pulled pork or prepared pulled pork from the store. Just be sure to use pulled pork without BBQ sauce. So look for Mexican pulled pork (pork carnitas) at the store if you opt for storebought.
