BBQ Pulled Pork Enchiladas
Description
BBQ Pulled Pork Enchiladas start with a pork shoulder slow-cooked in barbecue sauce until the meat is tender enough to shred easily. The pulled pork is then wrapped in flour tortillas and placed snugly in a casserole dish. Additional barbecue sauce is spooned over the enchiladas before sprinkling grated cheddar or jack cheese on top. Baking in the oven until the tortillas develop a browned edge and the cheese melts creates a layered dish blending the tangy, smoky flavors of barbecue with the soft tortillas and melted cheese.
The slow cooker method ensures the pork is juicy and flavorful, easily shredding to mix with the sauce. Using barbecue sauce both inside and on top ties the flavors together while the cheese adds a creamy, melty contrast. This casserole-style presentation simplifies serving and warms the dish through evenly.
This recipe is well suited for using leftover pulled pork and can be adjusted in quantity to accommodate however many enchiladas you want to make. It works as a comforting main dish and pairs nicely with simple sides like salad or beans.
Ingredients
For the Barbecue Pulled Pork
- 5 pound pork shoulder bone-in recommended, roast
- 18 ounces barbecue sauce homemade or store-bought
For the BBQ Pulled Pork Enchiladas
- 6 flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese grated, I used a combination of both, or jack cheese
- 6 ounces barbecue sauce homemade or store-bought
Instructions
To Make the BBQ Pulled Pork
- Place the pork shoulder roast in a crockpot and pour 18 ounces of barbecue sauce on top
- Cover the crock pot and place it on its lowest setting, allowing it to cook for 8 to 10 hours
- The pork is finished when the meat is easily shreddable and falls off the bone. Carefully place the roast on a cutting board and using a couple of forks, shred the pork. Place the shredded pork back in the crock pot with the juices, discarding any bones or excess fat.
To Make the BBQ Pulled Pork Enchiladas
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray or lightly oil a casserole dish
- Add desired amount of pulled pork to 6 to 8 tortillas. Wrap them tightly and lay them close together in the casserole dish.
- Pour desired amount of barbecue sauce on top of the wrapped pulled pork (for me, this was about 6 ounces, but feel free to douse!)
- Sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake in the oven until tortillas begin turning brown and cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite toppings (sour cream, avocado, green onion) and favorite side dishes (beans and cauliflower rice!)
Notes
- You can make as many or as few enchiladas as desired depending on the amount of leftover pulled pork.
