As if barbecue pulled pork isn’t delicious enough on its own, does it really need to get cozy and secure in a tortilla, anchovied in to a casserole dish, smothered with barbecue sauce and adorned with cheese?
In a word, yes.
If you have leftover Carnitas or BBQ Pulled Pork, I have a treat for you!
These BBQ Pulled Pork Enchiladas are a fabulous use for leftover shredded pork, and they’re a marvelous fusion of Mexican food and classic American barbecue.
The cheese brings it all together in a space of true love.
All we need are six simple ingredients for these easy pulled pork enchiladas recipe: A pork roast, barbecue sauce, flour tortillas, and cheese.
My sweat pea swore up and down that there was no way bbq pulled pork enchiladas would turn out well, bless his doubtful soul.
How to Make BBQ Pulled Pork Enchiladas:
Prepare the Shredded Pork:
If you don’t have leftover shredded pork, make some in your crock pot! Here’s how we do this.
- Place the pork shoulder roast in a crockpot and pour 18 ounces of barbecue sauce on top
- Cover the crock pot and place it on its lowest setting, allowing it to cook for 8 to 10 hours
- The pork is finished when the meat is easy to shred. Carefully transfer the roast to a cutting board and use two forks to shred the pork. Place the shredded pork back in the crock pot with the juices, discarding any bones or excess fat.
Prepare the Enchiladas:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray or lightly oil a casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Add desired amount of pulled pork to 6 to 8 tortillas, or however many your casserole dish holds. Wrap them tightly and lay them close together in the casserole dish.
- Pour desired amount of barbecue sauce on top of the wrapped pulled pork. For me, this was about 6 ounces, but feel free to go heavy on the sauce!
- Sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake in the oven until tortillas begin turning brown and cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, avocado, green onion are great options. I like serving with cauliflower rice and black beans too.
Store leftover enchiladas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
No sooner looked but they loved. When tortilla meets bbq, balance is achieved in the universe and I’m pretty sure there are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics that say the same thing.
I’m not one to boast but this one’s a bell ringer.
Barbecue. Pork. Crock pot. Tortillas. Cheese.
You have the information you need. Now go forth, put on your Jetson’s water wings and float down the river of easy peasy lemon squeezy.
