This enchilada packs a punch! This is my version of a REAL TEXAS pulled pork enchilada. This recipe calls for leftovers of my Kitchen Kouture Carnitas. I love to make my carnitas because I have leftovers for 3 additional meals. Freeze about 1 1/2 pds in seperate zip lock bags and thaw them out when ready to use. Sauce needs to sit overnight for best results. The sauce can be made up ahead of time and frozen in ziplock bags as well. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs carnita meat (kitchen kouture carnitas) |
8 corn tortillas |
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons flour |
5 teaspoons red chili powder |
2 teaspoons cumin |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
3 teaspoons garlic salt |
