Shredded Pork Enchiladas with Roasted Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 large garlic clove
- .333 c. canola oil
- 1/4 tsp. Aleppo pepper, or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 5 large plum tomatoes
- 4 sprig fresh coriander, leaves only
- salt
- 1 lb. boneless stewing pork
- 1/2 medium white onion
- 1 clove garlic
- pinch dried oregano
- salt
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 c. crumbled cheese (queso fresco when available) or feta
- To make the sauce: Preheat broiler to medium.
- Slice the onion and garlic and place in the canola oil with the pepper.
- Cook over medium to low heat for 20 minutes until soft.
- Place the tomatoes on a broiler pan under the broiler until the skin has blackened and the tomato is softened and smells roasted, about 7 minutes.
- Turn the tomatoes over and blacken on the other side.
- Put them aside to cool slightly.
- (You can also blacken a jalapeno along with the tomatoes.
- Remove the seeds before blending.
- This adds another roasty note.)
- Place the cooked onion mixture together with the broiled tomatoes and coriander in a blender or food processor.
- Blend to desired consistency and season with salt and spice to taste.
- To make the pork: Put all ingredients into a saucepan and just barely cover with water.
- Simmer the meat for 30 minutes on a low flame until just tender.
- Cool the mixture in the broth and strain liquid when cool (save the broth for making rice or for use in another dish).
- Shred the meat into large chunks to maximize the flavor, removing all gristle and connective tissue.
- Set aside.
- To make the enchiladas: Heat the tortillas on one side until puffy and browned slightly and flip to the other side.
- Quickly place some pork and cheese across the center of each tortilla and moisten with some of the tomato sauce.
- Fold in the ends and roll into a jelly roll shape.
- Place the filled enchiladas in a pan and spread with some of the tomato sauce.
- Serve immediately.
