minutesIngredients
1 pound pulled pork
1 cup enchilada sauce
8 tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
0.5 cup sour cream
0.25 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, spread the olive oil evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Mix pulled pork with cumin and smoked paprika in a bowl to evenly distribute the spices throughout the meat.
- Place a portion of pulled pork onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and arrange them seam side down in the prepared dish.
- Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas ensuring they are all covered with the sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the sauce-covered tortillas, ensuring an even distribution for a cheesy layer.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
- Remove the foil, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C), and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the cheese.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkled cilantro.
