    These 30 minute Pulled Pork Enchiladas are one of my “go-to” meals when I don’t want to spend a long time in the kitchen making a meal. Best of all, these make awesome lunches throughout the week!

    4 Pulled Pork Enchiladas

    Some of my favorite recipes use leftovers from previously grilled meats. I love using leftover turkey, roasts, and now pulled pork. Last weekend, Jason grilled a melt-in-your-mouth pork shoulder  that was delicious.  We had a lot of leftovers, and some of those made it into this recipe. Add in the homemade enchilada sauce and you’ve got yourself an easy and nutritious weeknight meal.

    🍽️ Cooking Instructions

    This is a quick and easy weeknight meal because you don’t need to spend a long time preparing. It takes about 10 minutes to put this meal together, and about 30 minutes of baking.

    Step One: Prepare the enchilada sauce by combining the tomato sauce, water, garlic, onion and chili powders and the cornstarch. Cook on medium-high heat until the mixture boils and thickens.

    Step Two: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Step Three: Lay out the tortillas and add green chilis, shredded pork and cheese to each.

    Step Four: Roll up the tortillas and place them in a 9×13 baking dish.

    Step Five: Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled up tortillas and top with tomatoes, black olives and green onions.

    Step Six: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

    💡 Recipe Tips

    Adding chips and salsa will make it feel a little bit “more special” and you’ll find you like the time at home and the dollars in your wallet more.

    🍴 Substitutions 

    As with all recipes like this, look it over and add/delete according to your family’s tastes. We love olives, so I make sure to add extras. We add the little green chilis as we like a little zip to the taste.

    If you do not have pulled pork, use virtually any leftover meat you have on hand. I have shredded chicken, used leftover ground beef and even steak bites.

    For my friends that like the heat, add those jalapeños!

    Note: Instead of creating the spice mix in this recipe, substitute 1 – 2 tablespoons of premixed taco seasoning.  It is equally amazing and requires less work.

    You can fully prepare this earlier in the day. I don’t recommend adding the enchilada sauce until right before cooking as it will make the tortillas soggy.
