edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Well, tonite I thought I'd use some of the pulled pork from yesterday and I made pulled pork enchiladas. Someone had posted this recipe a while back.
I sauteed some onions and added green enchilada sauce, mexican cheese and pulled pork. Rolled this mixture up in some corn tortillas. Then I combined sour cream and green chile enchilada sauce and put on the bottom of the pan. Rolled up the tortillas with the meat mixture and topped with the remainder of the sour cream and enchilada sauce, poured over the top and topped with mexican cheese. Baked at 350 for 30 min.'s.
This was definitely a little to rich for me.
If anyone has a pulled pork enchilada recipe without sour cream please post it or send to me. I'd like to try one without the sour cream.

    Anne....Those look fantastic!! You can make them next time just as you did, but simply omit the sour cream. We make them often, and I have never added sour cream to the sauce. (I do serve it on the side though). Plain sauce in the bottom, then the enchiladas, then top with the plain sauce and some cheese. ;) Yum. Gotta do these again soon. Great lookin cook, Anne!

    Anne, in a 9x13 dish pour about a cup of red enchilada sauce. Take a flour tortilla about 9" in dia and lay it in the sauce. Put your pork and some crumbled queso fresco across the tortilla and roll it up pulling it to one end of the dish. Keep repeating until the dish is filled adding more sauce as necessary. Cover with shredded colby cheese and a sprinkle of thinly sliced scallions and sliced black olives. Then pour about a cup of sauce over the cheese covering it completely. bake at 350 for about 45 minutes until the cheese starts to brown. I do this all the time using rotisserie chickens from the grocery store. You can also add diced green chilis to the filling. -RP

    What is wrong with using the same recipe without the sour cream? And putting tomato paste and jalapenos on the bottom?

    One other thing Michelle....what would you mix in with the pulled pork before you roll it up in the tortillas? This recipe had green chiles, onion, enchilada sauce and sour cream mixed in with the meat.

    I do mine very similarly Randy (go figure).

    Do you make your own red sauce? I've been doing it for a couple years and am much happier. It is so much better than the canned stuff.

    That sounds great Randy. I will definitely try that one.

    I have a weakness for home made green chile sauce for my enchiladas, but for fillings I prefer cheese and onion (and sometimes cheese, onion & spinach) ones. They are much lighter and you can really get into all the flavors. Any meat is shredded and put on top, under the cheese....or just on the side.

    I'm with LC, serve the sour creme on the side, and better yet....try to locate some Mexi-Crema. Crema is the Mexican version of Creme Fraiche in France and Clotted Cream in England.

    Its kind of funny but enchiladas are something I do when I want a lot of tasty food without a lot of work so I use canned sauce. When I make tamales I use dried chiles and make the sauce for cooking the pork from scratch. -RP

    Thanks Wayne! Would you want to share your recipe for your green chile sauce? I personally love a good green sauce vs. a red. Cheese and onion enchiladas are my favorite but I thought I'd use some of my leftover pulled pork from yesterday.

    This is the more difficult one, but it makes better sauce. I have another recipe that uses chile powder that is also pretty good. If you want it i'll look it up for you.

    Red Chile Sauce
    3/4 lb dried chile peppers (I like New Mexico or Guajillos)
    1 large onion, chopped
    8 cloves fresh garlic, smashed with skins removed
    2 t. dried oregano
    2 t. ground cumin
    2 t. kosher salt

    De-stem and de-seed chile peppers; place in large stock pot and cover with hot water. Soak for 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to pot, bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for half an hour.

    Drain off solids, reserve liquid. Allow to cool slightly, then process solids in batches in a food processor using reserve liquid for proper consistency. Strain through a wire sieve, pressing on the solids to extract the liquids. This should make about a quart.

    Anne...I am in total agreement with the green chiles and sauce mixed in....onions...well, maybe scallions? Or onions if the are pre cooked. Again, I would omit the sour cream inside. I also put some chopped cilantro, and a bit of fresh lime juice in my filling....it helps 'brighten it up' a little. A much fresher taste. Save the sour cream for a nice dollop on the side! ;)
    Hope this helps! :)

    This is how I make tamales, the sauce he cooks the pork in is very similar to your recipe. -RP
