Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 4 cups pulled pork (cooked and shredded)
- 1 (4.5oz) can of green chiles
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 (15oz) can refried beans (or black beans, drained & rinsed)
- 7 taco-sized flour tortillas (may need more or less, depending on pan size)
- 15oz jar of store-bought enchilada sauce (or homemade red enchilada sauce)
- 3–4 cups shredded cheese (regular or dairy-free) (more, if you want)
- Toppings: fresh cilantro, red onion, sour cream
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray.
- Make Filling: Bring a large cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat and coat the bottom of the pan with the oil. Add garlic and onion, move around the pan to cook for a few minutes. Add the shredded pork and green chiles. Stir and let warm through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Fill + Roll: Take one tortilla at a time and spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans down the middle. Add some of the pork mixture on top and a little bit of shredded cheese. Roll up the tortilla around the filling and place in the prepared pan. Continue this process with the rest of the tortillas, beans, and pork mixture, placing the filled tortillas next to each other in the pan until you have used all the ingredients and the pan is full.
- Sauce + Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the filled tortillas in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake: Move the pan to the preheated oven to bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings!
Notes
- Pulled Pork: this recipe is great for using up leftover pulled pork! We love making an Instant Pot Pork Shoulder, Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, or Smoked Pork Shoulder.
- Enchilada Sauce: keep it simple with our favorite store-bought Siete enchilada sauce or make our homemade red enchilada sauce!
- Dairy-Free: use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Gluten-Free: simply use gluten-free tortillas.
