Barbecue Pork Enchiladas

There’s this bar and grill where we live that I make frequent appearances at during marathon training.  You see, they have this appetizer that I must have after any long run 14 miles or more.  In fact, knowing that this meal is in my future makes my runs go by so much faster.  The dish?  Pulled Pork Nachos.  The Omnivore’s toes curl at the thought of them but that makes me happier – I devour the entire chip + cheese + salsa + pork + jalapeno ensemble and let me tell you, that serving is HUGE.

I used that favorite meal as inspiration recently when I was trying to get rid of some pulled pork.  You can only have barbecue as a sandwich, a main dish, and on top of a salad so many times before it just gets old.  The leftovers needed a facelift.

I wrapped the pulled pork up with sauteed corn, onions, and a few black beans then smothered the enchiladas in a red sauce and a smidge of cheese.  The result makes me wish had a few more leftovers.

    That looks like a pretty darn perfect enchilada! I think my favorite part about pulled pork is figuring out something new to do with the leftovers. Enchiladas are a terrific idea.
