2 10oz. cans green enchilada sauce
1 1/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro
1 bag of 'Costco Carnitas' (2 bags come in a container-find it in the refrigerated section by the prepared meals)
2 1/2 C. shredded Mexican cheese
Salt & Pepper
about 12 taco-sized, flour tortillas
Adjust rack to middle position and heat to 400 degrees.
Butter bottom of 9X13 baking dish.
Puree enchilada sauce and 1 C. cilantro in a blender. Slightly heat
carnitas while in bag (30 seconds). Pull carnitas apart with fork
(removing and fatty parts). Combine 1 C. enchilada sauce mixture,
carnitas, and 1 1/2 C. cheese in a large bowl and toss to combine.
Season with salt & pepper.
Wrap tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and microwave until pliable, 30
to 90 seconds. Top each tortilla with 1/4 C. carnitas mixture and roll
tightly. Arrange seam side down in baking dish. Lightly butter tops of
enchiladas or spray lightly with cooking spray, then top with
additional 1 C. enchilada sauce mixture and remaining cheese (my kids
prefer less of the sauce on top). Bake until cheese is melted and
enchiladas are heated through, 15-20 min. Sprinkle with remaining
cilantro and serve. I like to serve it with chopped olives, tomatoes,
and avocado.
