Ingredients
- 3 3 cups pork Carnitas
- 1 1 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 1 cup frozen corn thawed
- 2 2 cups grated monterrey jack cheese
- 2 2 cup enchilada sauce
- 8 8 6-inch flour tortillas
Instructions
- Start by either making the pork carnitas or using leftovers.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and spread it to the edges. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
- Bake the enchiladas for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are bubbly.
