The Whole Enchilada

I came up with this recipe for The Whole Enchilada out of leftovers from a pulled pork recipe. If you read my blog, you’ve most likely heard that the Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork from The Pioneer Woman is one of my favorites.  It’s such an awesome recipe and is good all by itself with a potato side dish. Later on it makes incredible sandwiches, crispy taco’s and my Whole Enchilada’s!

Since there’s only two of us in the house most of the time, we never finish off an entire Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork unless it’s holiday time and the kids are home. I was cruising the internet one day looking at enchilada recipes and stumbled across a recipe for pork enchilada’s by Pat and Gina Neely and the rest is history!

I didn’t use their exact recipe so the seasonings were a bit different since mine is flavored with chipotles from Pioneer Woman’s Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork. I also added a little cheddar cheese with the monterey jack. The results were off the charts.

The sauce is a sour cream salsa verde and the hot and spicy pork is the perfect compliment to the corn tortilla’s. It’s also a snap to put together if you’re lucky enough to have left over pulled pork.

Serve with mexican rice and some refried beans and you’ll think you’re in heaven.
