The filling was excellent. I added about 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to give it more mexican flavor. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. My only complaint is the sauce was too thin. I added some cheese to to thicken it up. I'd suggest melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan; then stir in 2 tablespoons of flour. Add the chicken stock and stir until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream and salsa verde. This will provide a creamier texture to the sauce. I used 8" tortillas and it made 15 enchiladas. Very good recipe, and a nice way to use up left over pork. Thanks! -
WOW! You have to try this recipe. It is just wonderful. I made the pork, onions and salsa verde then putting the sauce over the enchiladas. I had more filling left and put it into a flour tortilla and liked that much better even though I had made fresh corn tortillas. You didn't say what temp. to bake so I used 350 deg. for the written amount of time. DH kept saying how much he liked this recipe. VERY, VERY good. Will make this all the time. -
This was just great! You are making the filling for tamales with this, and using the filling to make enchiladas. Every part of the recipe is well thought out, and just delicious. I happened to have some prepared tomatillas sauce, and I used that, doctoring it up a bit to keep it fresh tasting. Truly wonderful!
