2 to 3 tablespoons ground chipotle chile pepper or hot chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 10-ounce cans enchilada sauce
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro
1 4-ounce can diced green chile peppers
2 cups cotija cheese, shredded (8 ounces)
8 to 12 8-inch tortillas
snipped fresh cilantro
diced tomato or quartered grape tomatoes
sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Trim fat from pork. In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine
pork shoulder, broth, onion, garlic, cumin, ground chipotle chile
pepper, and salt. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to
11 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.
Preheat oven to 400. Remove pork from slow cooker, reserving
cooking liquid. Using two forks, pull meat into coarse strands.....
In a large bowl combine pork, 2 tablespoons of the reserved
cooking liquid, 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, and the 1
tablespoon snipped cilantro; set aside.
In a medium bowl combine 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid
(discard any remaining cooking liquid), the remaining enchilada
sauce, and the diced green chile peppers. Spread about 1/2 cup of
the green chile pepper mixture in the bottom of a 3-quart
rectangular baking dish; set aside.
Divide pork mixture and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese among
tortillas, placing meat and cheese near the edge of each tortilla.
Roll up tortillas. Place filled tortillas, seam side down, in the
prepared green chile pepper mixture. Cover with foil; bake for 25
minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake,
uncovered, about 5 minutes more or until heated through and
cheese is softened and starts to brown slightly.
Sprinkle with additional snipped cilantro and tomato. If desired,
serve with sour cream.
.....TEST KITCHEN TIP- At this point, the meat and cooking liquid
can be refrigerated overnight before assembling enchiladas. The
cooking liquid will thicken. To prepare, pour cooking liquid into a
small saucepan; heat over low heat until boiling. Continue as
directed in steps 3 through 6.
