Instructions

  1. Start by either making the pork carnitas or using leftovers.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the carnitas, black beans, corn, and ½ cup of cheese to a large bowl. Pour ½ cup of enchilada sauce over top and mix well.
  3. Spread ½ cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x11-inch baking dish. Divide the enchilada filling between 8 tortillas - use ½ cup per tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and spread it to the edges. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  5. Bake the enchiladas for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are bubbly.
