Recipe instructions
- Prepare all of the veggies being used, set aside and preheat the oven to 375 8F.
- If using fresh pork shoulder steaks: Remove excess fat from 1 O pounds of pork shoulder steaks. Season with salt, garlic powder, cumin powder and onion powder then slowly simmer in oil in a skillet till tender. When the pork has completed cooking set it aside.
- If using shredded pork, leftover chicken, leftover cooked roast beef, leftover cooked steak: shred the meat and set aside. Meanwhile, gently sautv the chopped onions and garlic with oil in a skillet for about 5 minutes and mix into the reserved meat mixture and set aside.
- If using fresh ground beef or turkey, sautv it with the onions, garlic and ground cumin in a frying pan till the beef is brown and no longer pink. Drain off the fat and set aside.
- Moisten six sheets of paper towels, wrap them around the tortillas and microwave them for 45 seconds on high power so to soften them.
- Spoon 1 Tbsp of the reserved enchilada sauce mix over each tortilla, spoon ~ cup of meat mixture and a little cheese on top and roll up the tortillas. Smear O cup of the sauce on the bottom of an 8x11 baking dish and place the rolled tortillas in the dish.
- Add any remaining meat to the bowl of the enchilada sauce and stir well. Pour this mix over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over the enchiladas and bakefor 15 - 20 minutes in the preheated oven at 375 8F or till the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and serve with the toppings as described above. I like to serve this with a mixed green salad on the side.
- I like the KISS principle of keep it simple stupid . For desert, I serve a simplified version of fried ice cream. I roll scoops of vanilla ice cream in crushed frosted corn flakes, add some sliced bananas and squirt a little of chocolate syrup over each serving. Many of you didn t know how to fake a fried ice cream desert, did you?
