Instructions

  1. Prepare 3 cups pork carnitas ahead of time. A link is provided in the recipe card, or you may use store-bought.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a large baking dish. Spread about ¼ cup of the 2 cups red enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of the entire dish.
  3. Combine the pork carnitas and 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies in a large bowl and mix well.
  4. To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous amount of the pork mixture into the middle of one of the 8-12 large flour tortillas. Add about 2 tablespoons of the 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the pork. Roll it up tightly, placing it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the enchiladas are warmed through and the cheese has melted.
  8. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.
  9. Enjoy the enchiladas warm with fresh chopped cilantro for garnish or your desired toppings!
