Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray
  • 9x13" Baking Dish
  • Serving Spatula

Ingredients

  • pounds lean pork chops
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 ounces diced green chiles 1 can
  • 1 cup green salsa (or salsa verde; we used mild but you can use whatever heat you prefer)
  • 16 ounces diced tomatoes 1 can
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning 1 packet
  • 1 package corn or flour tortillas (8-10 count)
  • 20 ounces green enchilada sauce 2 (10 ounce) cans; you can also use red enchilada sauce if that is what you prefer
  • cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (can also use cheddar cheese)
  • fresh cilantro, for topping

Instructions

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place pork chops inside and add onion, chilies, salsa, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3 hours. Shred pork with two forks when finished cooking (it should just fall apart after cooking).
  • Pour one can of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" baking pan.
  • Place some of the meat mixture on each tortilla and roll up. Place rolled tortillas in pan and top with second can of enchilada sauce. Top with cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

  • You could also make this recipe using a pork roast - just cut it into a few large pieces and it will still work perfectly.
  • Both corn and flour tortillas will work for this recipe - just use what you prefer.
  • If you don't want to make this pork into enchiladas, you can serve it over rice.
