  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Wrap the flour tortillas in a dishcloth, then place them into the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until the tortillas are pliable.
  4. Pour enough verde enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place some of the pork, a spoonful of beans, and a bit of corn down the center of the tortilla.
  5. Roll and place seam side down in the baking dish, or roll burrito-style if you prefer. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Pour more sauce over each rolled enchilada, then top with the shredded cheese.
