Pork Green Chile and White Bean Enchiladas

I made a Hatch Chile Chopped Pork a few weeks ago. I was telling my friend Nola about it and she quipped that it would make a great filling for enchiladas. Duh. I was thinking sandwiches and casseroles and she just went straight to the good stuff… Pork Green Chile and White Bean Enchiladas.

Starting with the chili, these enchiladas then get a can of rinsed and drained white beans with some of my spicy green enchilada sauce. Cue the angels.

Dunk the tortillas into some enchilada sauce to wet them on either side, then fill the tortillas with the pork mixture and some shredded cheese. Yes, it’s a bit messy, but its worth it.

Line a casserole with the filled enchiladas, cover with more sauce and cheese. Bake through until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melty! Serve with your favorite condiments — and more of that enchilada sauce if you like. Now THIS is comfort food.
