This pulled pork enchiladas recipe is so succulent and delicious!  One of the best things about it, other than the pulled pork, is the two sauces!  Yum.

I make pulled pork a lot!  I prefer a savory pulled pork as opposed to the sweet version. I think it’s because, if I want to eat something sweet, I’ll have dessert or chocolate.  I can take a little sweetness to my food, as in this delicious bourbon meatball appetizer recipe, but I just can’t do overly sweet.

What about you?  Do you like sweet in your food?  Leave me a comment to let me know since I claim loudly to the world, “I am nosy!”

Helpful tips

  • You can use leftover pulled pork or make it fresh, either way is great
  • If you can’t make your own refried beans, use canned.  When I use canned, I always add a little olive oil to the beans to thin them out some
  • I love using two enchilada sauces, but you can use one sauce if you prefer
  • Use fajita sized flour tortillas as sometimes bigger is better 🙂

How to make pulled pork enchiladas

Pre-step

Get a wok or a large sauté pan.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step one

Gather the rest of the ingredients – onion and red bell peppers.  Chop the ingredients in small chunks. (1)

Step two

Heat the wok on medium, add olive oil and once that heats up add the onion and pepper and sauté for 8 minutes. (2)

A cutting board of raw chopped red pepper and raw chopped onion in front of a red wok; the wok full of sauteed red pepper and onion; a plate stacked with flour tortillas, the top one with refried beans, sauteed red pepper and onion and pulled pork on it, and in the background a bowl of refried beans, a bowl of pulled pork, a jar of red enchilada sauce and the wok with sauteed peppers and onions.

Step three

Gather the leftover pulled pork, refried beans, enchilada sauce and tortillas.

Step four

Smear beans on tortillas. (3)

Step five

Add sautéd veggies on beans. (4)

Step six

Add pulled pork.

Step seven

Ladle a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.

Step eight

Roll each tortilla up and place them seam side down in the baking dish. (1-below)

Step nine

Ladle enchilada sauce on the enchiladas. Be generous. (2-above)

Step ten

Ladle some sour cream enchilada sauce on in three lines.  I thickened the sauce so it wouldn’t spread but stay in the lines. You can skip this step if you prefer. (3-above)

I shook some parmesan cheese on top.  I didn’t want to use other cheeses because the two sauces together are enough!  Trust me, you won’t miss it.

Step eleven

Bake the pulled pork enchiladas for 25 minutes.

I plop some refried beans on a plate, grab some guacamole and put the rest of the onion and pepper mixture that I didn’t use in the enchiladas in a little bowl for consumption.

Time to serve the pulled pork enchiladas.  The sour cream sauce will get a little ‘crusty’ but not to worry, it doesn’t affect the taste. Not one bit!  So delicious!

I’m drooling.

    Well, this recipe comes at a convenient time. We just smoked a pork butt yesterday and we have some delicious pork waiting for us. Now I can make delicious sandwiches and some enchiladas. And by the way, it’s funny how we become our parents and grandparents. It makes me smile.

    My husband loves pulled pork! He doesn’t make it often, poor guy, because I am pescetarian and wouldn’t eat it, but he would be at your place in a wink if invited over for these amazing enchiladas 🙂 . P.s. Cute story about your grandma. I am slowly becoming my mother and grandmother 😉 .

    Haha I love it! My parents’ longtime neighbors (who I’ve always thought of like grandparents) are ALWAYS looking out their window. One time, my mom got up to use the bathroom at 3 a.m. and my neighbor called the next day and asked if she was OK. LOL!! It’s nice to know people are looking out for you but sometimes it’s a little much haha. These enchiladas look so awesomely delicious; I love that they’re made with pulled pork and I know my husband would go crazy for them, too!

      Thanks so much Sues! And that is so funny about your parents neighbor! Creepy for sure!
