The Other White Meat

Remember all of that pork that we had?  Well, we still have a lot, but we are putting a dent in it.  (I'm not going to lie, I've been missing having beef, but I refuse to buy more meat when we already have so much.)


So far we've had fried pork chops, pork and rice, pork and noodle casserole, and pork enchiladas. The pork enchiladas surprised me.  They were really good. 

First, I took the cooked pork and shredded it.  I added a package of taco seasoning, and cooked it according to the directions.  I also added corn, shredded cheese, and cilantro. 



Next, we (my husband helped too), rolled the meat into tortilla shells, and placed seam side down in the pan.



 

After the shells were stuffed, we put on the toppings.  The recipe that I was basing my ingredients off of called for enchilada sauce.  However, enchilada sauce costs much more than I wanted to spend, so we decided to add the rest of our queso.  I made the white cheese sauce, and then poured it on top of the enchiladas.  (That's the way that I order my enchiladas in the restaurants anyway, so adding the queso sauce was great!  Then we sprinkled shredded cheese and cilantro on top, and cooked it until the cheese was melted.




It was delicious, and the leftovers lasted for a couple of meals.
