Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno diced (optional)
  • 3 cups pulled pork
  • 1½ cups corn
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1½ cups chicken stock
  • 8 oz Monterey jack cheese grated or cut into chunks
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 medium tortillas about 8" diameter
  • Optional toppings: more BBQ sauce green onions, sour cream, fresh cilantro, salsa verde

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a casserole dish or 9x13" pan with non stick cooking spray.
  • Heat 1 Tablespoon cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 onion and 1 jalapeno until onion is translucent.
  • Add 3 cups pulled pork, 1½ cups corn and ¼ cup BBQ sauce, heating until just warm. Set aside.
  • In a separate pan, melt 2 Tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour and cook for about a minute.
  • Pour in 1½ cups chicken stock, whisking as you add it. Bring to a low boil and allow to thicken slightly. Add 8 oz Monterey jack cheese and stir in as it melts. Once smooth and creamy, remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup sour cream.
  • Assemble enchiladas by wrapping a generous quarter cup of the meat mixture in a tortilla and place tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Once all enchiladas are assembled and in dish, pour cheese sauce over the top of them.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • These are also great with BBQ chicken if you don't have pulled pork.
  • You can use flour tortillas or corn tortillas, it is a matter of preference. Warm them up a bit to make them more pliable if necessary.
  • For a milder chili flavor, use a can of chopped green chiles instead of a jalapeno.
