Leftover Pulled Pork

I always pick a large pork butt to smoke just so I’m conveniently left with some pulled pork to stick in the freezer. I divide it out into portions of about 2 c. and freeze it.

Then it’s nice and handy to pull out of the freezer and use in recipes like these Pulled Pork Enchiladas.

What are the best tortillas to use in enchiladas? 

Enchiladas are traditionally made with corn tortillas, but flour will also work if that’s your preference! Yellow or white corn? Is there a difference in taste? White corn tortillas are a little more tender, yellow have more texture – but again use your favorite!

Can I prepare enchiladas in advance?

Absolutely! Prepare the enchiladas and wait to pour the sauce over until you’re ready to put them in the oven.
