3-4
lbs. Pork Country-Style Ribs or Pork Shoulder
8 cups chicken stock
Water
2 whole heads garlic, cut in half
2 tbsp. chili powder
2 tbsp. chipotle chili powder
1 tbsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. salt 8-10
large flour tortillas
Bottled enchilada sauce
Cilantro
Green onions
Sour cream
Cojita cheese, shredded (substitute cheddar cheese)
Place the pork
country-style ribs in a deep, heavy stockpot. Add the chicken
stock and enough water to completely cover the pork. Add
the garlic, and stir in the chili powders, black pepper
and salt.
Cover the pot
and bring the mixture to a low simmer over medium heat.
Let the pork
braise in the liquid for at least 6 hours and up to 8 hours.
Remove the pork
from the braising liquid.
Using your hands,
“pull” the meat into strands and place in a bowl.
Stir about ½
cup of enchilada sauce into the pork.
Heat the oven
to 400F/204C.
Spoon a few
tablespoons of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13
baking dish. Spread the sauce around so it coats the bottom
of the entire dish.
Place a flour
tortilla flat on a work surface. Spoon some of the pork
onto the middle of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and
place it in the baking dish.
Continue to
fill tortillas with pork, roll them up, and place them in
the baking dish.
When the baking
dish is full of rolled tortillas, spoon more enchilada sauce
on top of the tortillas so that they are fully covered with
sauce.
Bake the tortillas
in the oven for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
To serve, place
a rolled enchilada on a serving plate and spoon some more
sauce over the enchilada. Garnish the plate with cilantro,
chopped green onions, sour cream and cheese.
