Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork shoulder, to taste, evenly on all sides.
- Once the Dutch oven is hot, sear the pork shoulder on all sides for 4-5 minutes or until it has a golden-brown crust.
- Add the chicken broth, cilantro, garlic, and Anaheim pepper to the Dutch oven.
- Cover with a lid and place into the oven for 3 hours.
- Turn the pork shoulder over and cook for another 2-3 hours or until the pork shoulder shreds easily and is very tender and juicy. Remove as much fat as possible then shred the meat with two forks. Set aside.
- Wet a dishcloth or several paper towels and ring out. Place the corn tortillas inside and cook them in the microwave for 60-90 seconds until soft and pliable.
- Coat the baking dish with cooking spray then pour some enchilada sauce over the bottom.
- Take a corn tortilla and spoon shredded pork along the center then roll and place into the pan. Repeat until finished.
- Add the rest of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Top with cheese then cover with foil and place into the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes then remove the tinfoil and continue to bake for 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the top with green onions. Serve with sour cream. Enjoy.
