I put a whole pork roast in the crock pot last weekend. We had sandwiches, BBQ pork, and with the last of it, I made this dish to put in the freezer for a later date.
When I cook a roast in the crock pot, I don't put anything else in but the roast, and some seasonings. No liquid at all. It will make it's own liquid as it cooks, and get browned that way. I like to season my pork with lots of smoked paprika, Clark's seasoning (local butcher shop season salt blend), and some garlic powder.
After the pork gets fork tender, I can pull it apart, and portion it into Tupperware according to what I will use it for. I pour on the rendered liquid to keep the meat moist. It can be frozen at this point, if I don't have time to use it in a recipe.
These are super easy enchiladas. Very few ingredients, and mild flavored. I use my Quien Sabe sauce for these, which is also good thickened and used in place of gravy a tex mex style pot roast.
Pulled Pork Enchiladas
4 C pulled pork
8 oz. light cream cheese
10-12 flour tortillas
Mix pork with softened cream cheese. Place a couple of spoon fulls on each tortilla. Roll up and place in a jelly roll size pan in which you have half of the Quien Sabe sauce. Top with remaining sauce. Cover with foil. I froze them at this point. To bake them off, thaw them first, and bake at 375*F until bubbly, about thirty minutes. Remove foil and top with shredded cheese, and bake another few minutes to melt the cheese.
Quien Sabe Sauce
1 pint/can diced tomatoes
1 qt/ large can tomatillos
1 small can whole green chiles
1/2 tsp adobo seasoning
1 large onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
In a skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter. Add to remaining ingredients and blend in a blender until smooth. Pour half in the bottom of the enchilada pan, and then pour remaining sauce on top.
