Cut: Ground Pork
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 15 oz canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp steak seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 cans diced green chiles 4.5 oz per can
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 8 tortillas fajita, 6-8, or 4 burrito sized tortillas
  • 1/4 cup Cotija cheese for topping
  • 1/4 cup cilantro for topping
  • 1/4 cup jalapenos for topping

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil.
  • Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the ground pork and cook until it is browned all the way through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (about 7 minutes).
  • Sprinkle on the steak seasoning and add in black beans. Stir to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a blender or food processor combine, sour cream, Greek yogurt, green chiles, cilantro leaves, jalapeno, green onions, salt, pepper, garlic and lime juice and blend until smooth. If it feels like it’s too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out, and blend.
  • Begin assembling the enchiladas by sprinkling cheese on the tortilla, then 1/4 cup of the pork mixture (or 1/2 -1 cup for burrito sized tortillas), fold the tortillas up burrito style and line them up in a baking dish.
  • Repeat until all enchiladas are complete and pour the green chile sauce over top.
  • Place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove and top with cotija cheese, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños. Enjoy!
