Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ of a small onion, finely diced (about ½ cup)
  • ½ of a green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced (about ½ cup)
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 2 cups pulled pork
  • ¾ cup bbq sauce
  • 2 cups (about 8 ounces) shredded cheddar, Mexican cheese blend, or Monterey Jack, divided
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (8.5 ounce) can corn, drained
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions; chopped fresh cilantro; chopped red onion; diced avocado or guacamole; sour cream; lime wedges


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and spread about ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened for about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in pulled pork, BBQ sauce, 1 cup of cheese, black beans, corn, cumin, and chili powder. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place approximately ½ cup of the pork mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and position seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes until the enchiladas are heated through and the edges are slightly crispy. Garnish with desired toppings and serve warm.

Notes

You can customize the toppings to your preference, including avocado, cilantro, or sour cream.
For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños to the filling or topping.
These enchiladas can be made ahead of time; assemble them and bake just before serving.
