Directions

Step one
In large slow-cooker, add pork, onion, salsa verde, and cans of diced tomatoes & hatch chilies with liquid. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 5 to 6 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
-
Step two
Preheat oven to 350°. Once pork is tender, shred with two forks. Reserve about 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid, then strain off and discard remaining cooking liquid. Heat reserved liquid in small saucepan over medium-low heat, reducing by half.
-
Step three
Spray large rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Combine pepper jack and Mexican cheese blend in small bowl; reserve 1 cup for topping enchiladas. In a flour tortilla, sprinkle about 1/3 cup cheese mixture down middle, then top with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded pork mixture. Roll tortilla tightly and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat process until all tortillas are filled.
-
Step four
Reduce simmering cooking liquid by about half, making sure there is about 2/3 cup remaining. Pour liquid over enchiladas then top enchiladas with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake in oven uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas begin to brown slightly. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. Serve pork chile verde encchiladas.
Tips
For an extra zing, top enchiladas with additional salsa verde, hatch chile salsa, or fresh sliced jalapenos. To cool the heat, stir together 1/2 cup sour cream with a tablespoon of milk until smooth, then drizzle on top of enchiladas.
