Pork Verde Enchiladas (7)

These beautiful Pork Verde Enchiladas start out in the slow cooker. I cook the meat all-night with seasonings, beer and a small amount of liquid smoke.

The next day I get everything ready to put together these enchiladas. I cook the tortillas in oil for a small amount of time to make them pliable, this is what Mexican restaurants do for their enchiladas too.

I add chopped cilantro to the green enchilada sauce to liven it up. Then I start assembling the enchiladas. Enchiladas are not hard to make, it just takes some time to get everything ready before you start filling them.

How to fry tortillas for enchiladas:

  • Start by heating canola or vegetable oil in a skillet or deep cast iron pan.
  • Add a corn tortilla to the pan and lightly fry on each side. This only takes a few seconds per side.
  • The tortilla will not be crisp, it will now be soft and pliable and ready to make enchiladas.
  • Lay each tortilla onto a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Lightly sprinkle with salt if desired.
  • Let the tortillas cool enough to handle

If you have not par-cooked tortillas for enchiladas before you may want to watch this video below. I learned from my mom growing up, but if I did not watch her I may have been confused about the small amount of time that they really need to cook.

Ingredients

For the Pork

  • 3 lbs. boneless pork shoulder, (around 3-4 lbs)
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp. liquid hickory smoke
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup beer, use water if you can't use beer
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic, 4-6 plump cloves

For the Enchiladas

  • 16 yellow corn tortillas
  • vegetable oil
  • 28 oz green enchilada sauce
  • 1/8 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

For the Slow Cooker Pork:

  • In a large skillet set to medium-high heat add the oil.

  • Once hot, brown the pork roast on all sides.

  • Place in to the slow cooker with all the remaining ingredients over the pork roast.

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours.

  • Shred the meat with 2 forks, set aside.

For the enchiladas:

  • Set a skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Add about an inch of oil.

  • Cook each corn tortillas for about 2 seconds on each side, place them onto paper towels to drain the oil. (see notes)

  • Get everything else that is needed to make the enchiladas ready. Mix the enchilada sauce and cilantro together in a small bowl.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the casserole dishes.

  • Lay a cooked tortilla down in the sauce in the casserole dish, add about a 1/4 cup of pulled pork, a sprinkle of cheese and a drizzle of enchilada sauce, roll up the tortilla and put the seam down.

  • Repeat this until all the meat is gone.

  • Add a touch of enchilada sauce to the top of the enchiladas, add about a cup and half of cheese to the top of each casserole dish.

  • Cover with foil.

  • Bake for 35 minutes covered and then 20 minutes uncovered. If you like browned cheese on top (like mine), set the oven to broil and cook for about 5 minutes until the cheese is browned.

  • Serve and enjoy!

Sarah’s Notes

For the roast:

I like to cook the meat overnight, then I can assemble the enchiladas in time for dinner since the pork takes 10 hours to cook and the enchiladas take some preparation and time in the oven.

Frying the tortillas:

This light cooking of the tortillas it gives them a bite and makes them easy to work with when rolling the enchiladas. I added a short video from youtube above this recipe card to show how to do this.

I use 2 large casserole dishes for this recipe.
