Sheet Pan Enchiladas

Who doesn't love a good enchilada?  Enchiladas are fantastic but can be time-consuming to make.  Especially on a busy weeknight. This recipe has the flavor of enchiladas but takes a fraction of the time. This summer we went to Taos and Santa Fe for vacation. We like to visit local grocery stores when we travel to check out their regional products. I came across Hatch Red Chili sauce in a jug at the Santa Fe grocery store. I like it better than canned enchilada sauce. It has a similar texture, but a more intense flavor. I used red chili sauce for this recipe, but you can substitute regular enchilada sauce. The ingredient amounts are suggestions. Most of the time when I make this I don't measure. You want the ingredients to be well-coated in the sauce but not soupy.  The amounts are what I use for 2 portions, but you can easily scale it up for more people.  The other thing I like about this recipe is it's easy to do variations. Rotisserie chicken works well.  You can experiment with adding different vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.  

Ingredients:

4 corn tortillas 

8 oz of pulled pork 

1/4 cup of sour cream

1/2 - 3/4 cup of red chili or enchilada sauce

1/2 cup of shredded cheese 

Directions:

Stack the tortillas and use a pizza cutter to cut the tortilla into 8ths and add to a bowl.

Add the pulled pork to the bowl.

Add the sour cream to the bowl.

Add the red chili or enchilada sauce. 

Add the cheese and mix all the ingredients until everything is well blended. Pour the mixture into a casserole or small sheet pan. 

Bake the enchiladas at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. I like to make them in individual small casserole pans because I use dairy-free cheese and sour cream for mine and regular cheese for my husband's. 

There are a lot of ways you can vary the recipe. You can change the meat type, add vegetables, or use a green enchilada sauce.  

Chicken & Spinach Green Chili Enchiladas

If you are interested in trying hatch red chili sauce, you can order it off Amazon if you can't find it at your local grocery store.  This is the brand I used.  They have mild, medium, and hot varieties.
