Enchiladas Puerco Pibil

[chilerelleno]

Like I said yesterday, "I'm making enchiladas with the leftovers", and so I did.

Shred the pork and add some onions.

Now I made a mistake here, I added leftover sauce back into the PP to make it wet.
Don't do that.
There'll be more than enough sauce when you add enchilada sauce.



Whip up a batch of Red Enchilada sauce with seasonings similar to the Puerco Pibil.

Do not go full-strength on the Pibil seasonings, make it 1/2 or 1/4 strength.
Or just use a regular enchilada sauce.



Lightly saute about 20 corn tortillas in hot oil to soften for rolling.



Coat the bottom of a large casserole dish with sauce and start rolling till the dish is filled.
Pour a generous line of sauce down the center of each row of enchiladas.









Top with a ton of crumbled queso Fresco or queso Chijuahua and bake covered at 350° for 45 minutes, then uncover and hit with the broiler to color the cheese.





Ready to Chow Down

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the Likes and compliments.
Enchiladas are a favorite of mine and my Verde Pollo Enchiladas are one of my best Mexican dishes.

I kid you not when I tell ya I had a marriage proposal over them.
One of my Uncle's secretaries (Hispanic lady) was working late at his home office, I was there visiting and cooking dinner.
I took a plate out to her, and 15 minutes she shot into the house exclaiming, "These are better than my Mother's! If you're not married I'll take you!"
LOL!

thanks John appreciate that.

Pulled pork loin?
Loin, you sure you mean Loin, not Butt or Shoulder?
Loins just aren't made for pulling.

Boy that looks Mighty Tasty, John!!!
Like.
I never had an "Enchilada", in fact the closest I ever came to Mexican Food would be when I used to see "Pepino Garcia", the Mexican Farm-hand on the "Real McCoys" eating lunch.
That stuff nearly always looks Great !!
