Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Spread a layer of carnitas onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 3

    Add the Mole Sauce

    Once all the tortillas are rolled and placed in the baking dish, pour the mole amarillo sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas.

  4. 4

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the mole sauce.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve topped with pico de gallo and sour cream. Enjoy!
