Pork Enchiladas – turn pulled pork into the most delicious homemade enchiladas! Great use of leftovers or when you are just craving Mexican food!
We love Mexican food in this house! It can be just your basic ground beef tacos our Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas. They are all just delicious and I could eat them almost every night of the week.
And what goes better with Mexican food that Margaritas! Even on Tuesday, there is nothing wrong with a Classic Margarita with your taco dinner.
I have been making enchiladas for years. When I was growing up, Sunday meant Mexican food. We varied what we had; tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or even smothered burritos. During the football season my mom would have to time dinner during half time of the game we were watching (long before the days of DVR’s).
Enchiladas were one of the first things my mom made when my husband (then boyfriend) came over. He absolutely loved them. They weren’t something his mom made, but he went home to her and requested them. I remember making them with my husband when we were in college, we liked them so much.
Another thing we love around here is pulled pork. I make a ton of Instant Pot Pulled Pork and then use it all week long in different things. And it is perfect for these pulled pork enchiladas. If you have leftover pulled pork, this is definitely a tasty way to enjoy it!
Pork Enchiladas can start out with smoked pork or even this Cafe Rio pork that is on the sweeter side. Really any kind of pork that you have will work great! So make sure to make extra next time, so you can whip up these enchiladas!
I am always craving Mexican food and love how easy this pork enchilada recipe is to make. It really is just an assembly line to get everything rolled and in the pan before baking. You are going to want to make extra too, because the leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day!
Serve with our favorite Mexican Rice for delicious dinner the whole family is going to love. So make sure you make extra pulled pork text time, because these pork enchiladas are a must!

You’re right . . . enchiladas are a great way to use up some leftover meat. No one will ever know it wasn’t that way to start with! Beautiful enchiladas. Dinner tonight! (With that leftover chicken in the freezer!)

Enchiladas are a favorite of mine right along with quesadillas. I definitely need meat in mine instead of just plain cheese so these are perfect.
