Enchiladas Verdes Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in shredded beef or pork carnitas and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

2. 2

   Prepare the Tortillas

   In a separate pan, lightly warm the corn tortillas to make them pliable. You can do this by heating them on a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

3. 3

   Assemble the Enchiladas

   Take a warmed tortilla, add a few spoonfuls of the meat mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

4. 4

   Add Sauce and Cheese

   Pour the green enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

5. 5

   Bake

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro on top.
