Pulled Pork Enchiladas

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork provides high-quality protein and B vitamins, particularly thiamine and niacin, which support energy metabolism. Using cumin and smoked paprika adds antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds while boosting flavor.

These Pulled Pork Enchiladas transform leftover pulled pork into something completely new and exciting, with tender, smoky meat wrapped in soft tortillas and smothered in rich enchilada sauce. The combination of cumin and smoked paprika adds depth to the pork while the melted cheese creates that irresistible golden, bubbly top. It’s the perfect way to give pulled pork a Mexican makeover that the whole family will love.

If you love this Mexican comfort combination, you’ll also enjoy our Creamy Shrimp Enchiladas with their similar enchilada format and rich, creamy sauce. For another pulled pork option, try the Tamale Casserole that combines similar flavors in a different format. The Green Chile Chicken and Rice Casserole offers southwestern flavors with a comforting casserole presentation.

    Ingredients

    • 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.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Aldi Is Having a Wonton Month — And the Best Item Drops Next Tuesday

    The new Aldi Shrimp Wonton Soup is one of the more nutritionally complete frozen meals dropping this month — shrimp is a lean, high-protein seafood, bok choy adds calcium, vitamin C, and folate, and the noodle and broth base keeps the overall calorie count lower than most frozen entrees at the same price point. At $2.99, it’s also one of the best-value sources of seafood in the frozen aisle. For a more complete meal, serve it alongside a simple salad or steamed vegetables to add extra fiber and round out the nutrition without significantly increasing the prep time or cost.
