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:
- In a large saucepan lightly brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic add in salt, pepper, ground cumin, and some jalapeño juice.
- When meat is light brown, drain fat from beef.
- Put meat back on stove and add both cans of diced tomato with green chilies and cilantro simmer until tomatoes are soft.
- At this point you may add some diced jalapeños, or just add more jalapeño juice (i like it hot!) add tomato sauce and enchilada sauce.
- Simmer on med-low heat with saucepan covered.
- While meat is simmering, you can start to cook the tortillas.
- Heat up canola oil in a pan on med-high heat.
- Add one tortilla at a time, sprinkling both sides with chili powder.
- Cook until outer ring is harder and the middle part of the tortilla is a bit softer (as long as the tortilla is no longer brittle) continue until all 30 tortillas are cooked.
- You may want to wipe off the oil after you remove them from the stove.
- Also, if the heat is too high, the chili powder may turn black, but this will not really affect it's taste, so don't worry, just turn down the heat a lil'!
- By the time all the tortillas are done, the meat should be perfect!
- (It should look kinda soupy) in a large square pan scoop a bit of the meat sauce and spread all over (lasagna pan is fine) lay a tortilla down and fill with meat and cheese (try not to get too much sauce with the meat) carefully roll up tortilla and place against the side of the pan.
- Start at the end of the pan and work your way across.
- After you can no longer fit any more rolled up tortillas in the pan, use the remainder of the meat sauce and cheese for the topping heat up oven to 400°F.
- Place in oven for about 20-30 mins or until cheese is melted and light brown and the tortilla edges that stick up from the sauce are a bit hard turn off your oven.
- For those that like onions on top of your enchiladas, you may add them at this time and place pan back into the oven (make sure oven is turned off!) if you have any meat sauce left, you may enjoy it over some home made Mexican rice!
- Tabasco sauce, salsa, and/or sour cream is perfect for the topping.
- Enjoy with some saltines!

Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
- While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
- Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
- Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted.

Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and enchiladas and sauce are bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...
I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.
