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!”
Tips to make Pulled Pork Enchiladas
- 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
I gather my wok and get the ingredients ready. I also preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Process shots for making the enchiladas:
- Onion and red bell pepper chopped in small chunks
- Onions and peppers sautéd for 8 minutes
- Tortillas smeared with refried beans
- Sautéd veggies on beans
- Pulled pork on top
I dollop some enchilada sauce in the bottom of my baking dish, roll up the pulled pork enchiladas and place them seam side down in the baking dish!
More process shots:
- Just rolled enchiladas in the baking dish
- Red enchilada sauce slathered on the enchiladas
- Sour cream enchilada sauce dolloped on in three lines. I thickened the sauce so it wouldn’t spread but stay in the lines
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.
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.

We totally love Mexican food in our house. What a great recipe to have on the weekend when the kids come over for dinner. This is the perfect party dish…the guest would love it for sure.
Thanks Gloria! I can always go for Mexican food and I’m thankful hubby is on board for it as well!

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.
Thank you Marisa! I need to make some pulled pork again soon!! And yes, it is funny we become the people who raised us. 🙂
I loved your story about your grandma and that window!! These look delish! I bet I could sub out pork and use shredded chicken….my hubby doesn’t eat pork. These would be perfect for Cinco De Mayo!!
I’m sure you could Amanda! Thank you!
Mexican food is so awesome and these enchiladas just prove the point! So much fun to eat these.
Thanks Christopher!
You can really never go wrong with Mexican food! These would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo next weekend!
I agree, Kathryn! I love Mexican food!! Thank you Kathryn!
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 😉 .
Thanks Nicoletta! I bet he would love them and too bad we didn’t live closer! I’d so invite you both. And I’d make shrimp enchies for you! 😉
Enchiladas are always a great idea, but these pulled pork enchiladas look AMAZING. My family would love them!
Thanks Christine! I’m sure they will, it’s so tasty!
I haven’t quite become my grandmother, but I know I’m becoming my mother. Give me a little time. LOL. These look amazing! Perfect for Cinco de Mayo!
Thanks Carol! I really appreciate it!
These enchiladas look so frikkin good Elaine! I can’t wait to try them out!
Thanks so much Matt! They are quite fab!
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!
