Ingredients
- 3 cups pork Carnitas
- Red Enchilada Sauce
- 4 oz diced green chilies
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded
- 8-12 flour tortillas
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare pork carnitas ahead of time. A link is provided in the recipe card.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish. Pour about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to coat the bottom of the pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the pork carnitas and diced green chilies, and mix well.
- To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous amount of the pork mixture in the middle of the tortilla. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the pork. Roll it up tightly, placing it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the Colby Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the enchiladas are warmed through and the cheese has melted.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.
- Enjoy the enchiladas warm with cilantro or desired toppings!
