You all should know by now that NOTHING makes me happier than a QUICK, EASY, HEALTHY meal.  And todays recipe fits in all 3 of those categories.  I actually got this recipe from my mother and was AMAZED when she told me the ingredients.

Yep! That's it! 

And honestly they are delicious! 

The meat is amazing and I've made tacos and nachos with the meat which is also quick and easy.

Here is the enchilada recipe!

Green Chile Pork Enchiladas

via

Ingredients:

1 package carnitas (precooked seasoned pork) can find this at Trader Joes or at *Fry's

1 bottle of 505 green chile sauce (I use medium and it isn't too spicy) found at Fry's

12 small white corn tortillas

Optional:

2 ounces Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Heat the pork according to package instructions

3. Shred meat in a medium sized bowl and add 1/2 bottle of the green chile sauce. Mix well

4. Warm tortillas 4 at a time in the microwave for 30 sec. - 1 min.  on a paper plate in between two damp paper towels.  This makes the tortillas pliable and easy to roll up without cracking. 

5. In a casserole dish or pan spray lightly with nonstick spray and coat bottom with a little bit of sauce.

6. Start filling enchiladas with shredded pork mixture and add a few sprinkles of cheese.  Fold and place in pan.

7.  Cover the enchiladas with the remainder of green chile sauce and top with a few sprinkles of cheese.

8. Cover with foil and bake for 30 min.

9. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve with rice and beans!

* The Carnitas at Fry's are kinda hard to find so ask an employee if you can't find them! They are located near the deli but not in the typical meat section.
