Sweet Pork Enchilada Stacks (aka Enchilada Casserole - Cafe Rio Style)
Description
This recipe layers taco-sized halves of flour tortillas with sweet shredded pork, black beans, enchilada sauce, and a generous amount of Mexican blend cheese. The method involves alternating layers of sauce, tortillas, pork, beans, and cheese to create distinct layers that bake together into a cohesive casserole.
Baking the covered dish initially softens the tortillas and melds flavors, then uncovering it melts and browns the cheese. Serving with cilantro lime ranch dressing and fresh cilantro adds a tangy, creamy contrast that balances the savoriness and sweetness of the pork.
This stack or casserole format is convenient for feeding a group and allows for easy portioning. It works well as a main dish for a casual meal or family dinner.
