THE BEST PORK ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas from the Mexican state of Oaxaca are made with a red chile sauce. Ours has raisins to pull the fruit flavors from the ancho chiles and add a touch of sweetness. The pork is braised with aromatics and seasonings that turns into a deeply flavored blended sauce. Frying the tortillas a bit before rolling them gives them a durability that is important when assembling the dish.

Steps:
- Rinse the red onion in cold water, breaking up the rings and removing any white membrane between the layers. Drain well. Toss the red onions, vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, turning once, until golden brown on two sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the yellow onions to the same pot, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ancho and pasilla chiles, bay leaves, raisins, broth and 1 tablespoon salt. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and simmer until the pork is falling apart and easily shreds, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Remove the bay leaves and discard. Transfer the pork to a medium bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid.
- Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the pork. Use a potato masher to smash the pork into the sauce; it should fall apart completely. Remove any remaining large pieces of fat and discard. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the remaining 1 cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
- Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Spoon 1/4 cup shredded pork across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted but not brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
- Top the enchiladas with the pickled red onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix the chili powder, salt, oregano and pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cubed pork chunks with the spice mixture and put into a large Dutch oven. Add 1 cup of the salsa verde, chicken broth, garlic and onions. Stir together with a wooden spoon. Put the pot on high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Transfer to the oven and cook, covered, until the pork is tender and easily shreds, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Once done, shred the pork in the Dutch oven with a pair of tongs or 2 forks.
- Turn the oven up to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the remaining 2 cups salsa verde and sour cream in a wide, medium bowl. Spread about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of a large rectangular casserole dish.
- Wrap the tortillas up in a damp paper towel and microwave 40 seconds. Lay the warm tortillas out on your cutting board. Dip into the sour cream-salsa mixture and fill evenly with the shredded pork mixture and sprinkle of the cheese. Roll the enchilada up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if using.

SUSAN'S PORK ENCHILADAS
I make many versions of enchiladas depending on what is in the fridge. This one I especially liked, so I wrote it down. It's a great way to use up leftover pork! You can spice it up more with additional jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce mixed in with the enchilada sauce. Feel free to adjust the garlic to your taste. You may need to add more oil as you fry the tortillas to keep them from sticking to the pan.

Steps:
- Saute pork, peppers, onion, and garlic until pork is browned and onions are translucent. Add 1/2 can enchilada sauce to the pork mixture. Cook over medium heat until most of the sauce has evaporated. Remove from heat. Cool a few minutes, so the cilantro does not cook when added. Stir in cilantro until well mixed. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and briefly fry on each side corn tortillas, one at a time. (You just want them to be softened, not crisped.) After frying, put them on several layers of paper towels to drain.
- Pour 1/2 can enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish (or similar pan.) Divide the pork mixture into the same number of portions as you have tortillas. Do the same with the Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up a portion of pork mixture and Jack cheese into each tortilla and place the roll seam-side down in the pan. Lining up the rolls side by side in the pan. It's OK if the sauce gets smeared on the tortillas and doesn't cover the bottom evenly. Pour the second can of enchilada sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
- Bake 20-30 minutes at 350F or until bubbly. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of cilantro.
- You could easily use leftover pork, chopped fine, in place of the ground pork and get the same results.

Shred the meat into bite-size pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, onions, chilies and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over high heat. Add the pork carnitas and cook until the bottom is nicely browned - about 1 1/2 minutes. Do not turn, just make the bottom crispy (to keep the pulled pork as moist as possible), then remove the pulled pork into a bowl. It does not matter if the top isn't heated through, it will heat in the oven.
- Add the corn, black beans, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese into the bowl and mix to combine.
