- 1 ½ pound 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
- 1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, (can also use cheddar cheese)
- fresh cilantro, for topping
Equipment
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
Your tortilla preference is personal. We tend to use flour tortillas for enchiladas as they hold up better when cooked in the oven. You can even make your own tortilla with The Café Sucre Farine’s recipe for the best ever homemade tortillas. But you can also keep it simple and grab a package from the store.
Customize these enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as fresh cilantro, guacamole, sour cream, salsa (corn salsa, verde, or regular), queso, or green onions.
If you don’t love pork chops, you can use other meats! You can cut up a pork roast and use that, or ground beef (but make sure to cook the meat ahead of time), chicken breasts. Really any you like should work well in this recipe!
