Mexican Lasagna Enchilada Stack
Report
An enchilada - layered like a lasagna! Made with Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) but you can substitute with any shredded or diced (cooked) chicken, beef or pork. This recipe makes 4 generous servings or 6 small servings.

Ingredients
- 5 - 6 tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) (see notes)
- 1 can (400g/15oz) corn
- 1 can (400g/15oz) black beans or red kidney beans
- 1 small red capsicum (bell pepper), diced
- 2 1/4 cups enchilada sauce , separated (preferably homemade - here's my Easy Classic Enchilada Sauce)
- 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese (or any other melting cheese)
- Fresh parsley or coriander , finely chopped (optional - for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Combine the Pork Carnitas, corn, black beans, capsicum and 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce in a bowl. Mix to combine.
- Spread 1 tbsp of enchilada sauce on the base of a baking dish.
- Line the baking dish with tortillas. I find the best way to do this is to cut the tortillas in half, place 2 on the baking dish (with the straight cut side lined to the edge of the baking dish), then cut 1 tortilla into 6 to 8 pieces and use those wedges to fill the gaps.
- Spread half the filling across the tortillas.
- Top with another layer of tortillas, then spread the remaining filling on top.
- Top with a third and final layer of tortillas. Spread remaining enchilada sauce (3/4 cup) across the top, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and started to turn golden.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley or coriander if desired and serve.
Notes
- You can substitute the Pork Carnitas with any shredded or diced (cooked) chicken, beef or pork. If the meat is not flavoured, I recommend sprinkling some spices on the meat before mixing with the other ingredients: 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, pinch of chilli powder (optional), salt and pepper.
