Ingredients

3 cups pulled pork cooked
1/2 cup red onion chopped
1 jalapeno diced
3 cans red enchilada sauce 30 oz total or 3, 10 oz cans
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro
4 oz diced green chilies
2 1/2 cups quesadilla cheese
8-12 flour tortillas
1 jalapeno sliced for optional garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
In a medium bowl, combine the red onion, jalapeno, and pulled pork with 1 can of enchilada sauce. Mix well together.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 cans of enchilada sauce with the can of green chili peppers and set aside.
In a 13×9 baking dish, cover the bottom with your enchilada and green chili sauce mixture, using about ½ cup in total.
To assemble your enchiladas, take 1 tortilla and fill it with ¼ cup of pulled pork and roughly ⅙ cup of cheese. Be sure to set aside ½ cup of cheese to top the dish later. Then, roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in your prepared baking dish or your prepared casserole dish. Repeat with each tortilla.
After all the enchiladas are in the pan, pour with the remainder of the enchilada sauce. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and add the reserved ½ cup of cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese has started to melt and is ever so slightly browned.
Finally, top with fresh cilantro and a few slices of jalapeno, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

STORE leftover Pulled Pork Enchiladas in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will remain good for up to 3 days. To FREEZE, first, let them cool completely. Then, wrap individual portions tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag, storing them for up to 2 months.

To REHEAT, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) until heated through (about 15-20 minutes). You can also reheat in the microwave until everything has warmed through.
