Ingredients
- 3 cups red chile enchilada sauce (store bought is fine, buy it as mild or hot as you like)
- 10 white corn tortillas (cut into pie shaped triangles)
- 1 recipe Mexican Pulled Pork (cooked per recipe directions (about 4 cups cooked meat))
- 32 ounces shredded pepper jack or Mexican blend cheese (about 8 cups worth)
- chopped fresh cilantro (for serving)
- sour cream (for serving)
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour ½ cup red chile sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Place a layer of tortilla wedges across the sauce and then spread half of the shredded pork across the tortillas. Sprinkle with about ⅓ of the cheese.
-
Layer more tortillas over the cheese and pour about a cup of sauce over the tortillas. Layer the rest of the pork, then another ⅓ of the cheese, and top with more tortillas. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas and then cover with the remaining cheese.
-
Bake until bubbling around the edges and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Top each plate with a sprinkling of cilantro and a scoop of sour cream, if desired. Serve with plenty of tortilla chips. Enjoy!
