Chili Verde Enchiladas

This Chili Verde Enchiladas recipe is super easy and packed full of flavor. Filled with pork, cheese and black beans. Super yummy!

I love Chili Verde and love enchiladas so why not combine both of them. This enchilada recipe is super easy to make and ready in less than 45 minutes.

You can use either a pork tenderloin or a pork loin for this recipe. While they are not the same cut of meat, they will taste the same. A pork tenderloin is a long, narrow and boneless cut of meat with very little fat while a pork loin is wider and flatter, usually has a fat cap.

For the cheese, I like to use Monterey Jack cheese but you can substitute for almost any other kind of cheese that melts well. A Mexican blend cheese, Oaxaca cheese or even a nice Fontina cheese would pair nicely with this enchilada recipe.

💭 Recipe Tip

Warm the tortillas in the microwave or oven before rolling the enchiladas. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll. It will also prevent the tortillas from cracking or splitting open which will mess up your enchiladas.

🌮 How to Warm Tortillas

When the time comes to warm up your tortillas, you have a few options. You can wrap the tortillas in foil and bake them for 10 minutes at 350°F. You can also put them in a non-stick pan to heat both sides of the tortilla (this is how I usually do it), heat them over an open flame, or if you must, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds.
