This is a kind of lasagna but is made with enchilada sauce (home made or store-bought). The meat is slow-cooked pork that I shredded using two forks and my fingers (after it had cooled down). I added the enchilada sauce to the meat along with chopped onion, black beans, bell peppers, and sweet corn. Then I let the mixture cook on the stove at on low heat for an hour or more, tasting it periodically to make sure the meet was nice and tender. Layer tortillas with the meat mixture and grated cheese in a baking dish, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and a layer of the cheese. Bake it in the oven until all the grated cheese has had time to melt. Cut wedges of the "enchilada-lasagna" as you would cut a pie. Serve it with salsa and guacomole with cilantro.
Sounds wonderful,
ReplyDeleteI especially love pulled pork for the soft meat in my Mexican dishes. I bet this was tasty!
ReplyDeleteAre flour tortillas, cilantro, and avocado easy to get these days, in your stores? Or do you have to get them when you go to a bigger town?
I remember a time before having Mexican restaurants everywhere or anywhere. Our food choices are plentiful these days.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good, will definitely try it. Thanks.

P.S. We’ve just arrived in MN for the summer. ‘Feels like’ temperature yesterday was 27 with very strong winds and two inches of rain. When we left FL it was 90.
Do the tortillas become easy to cut, after being cooked? It looks so tasty! In Texas we made something like this called Frito pie - using big Frito corn chips for layers instead of tortillas.
