Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups pulled pork
  2. 1 can enchilada sauce
  3. 1 cup corn
  4. 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  5. 1 cup shredded cheese
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of pulled pork, 1 can of enchilada sauce, 1 cup of corn, 1 cup of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pulled pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  3. Sprinkle the cumin over the pulled pork and stir well to combine. Cook the pork for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to heat through and absorb the flavors of the cumin.
  4. Next, pour in the can of enchilada sauce, stirring to coat the pulled pork evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  5. Add the corn and black beans to the skillet, stirring to incorporate them into the pulled pork and sauce mixture. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the corn is heated through.
  6. Once everything is heated, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. After the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the pulled pork enchilada skillet warm, garnished with fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeños if desired.
  8. This dish can be served on its own or with tortillas on the side for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious Pulled Pork Enchilada Skillet!

Tips

  1. • For the most flavorful pulled pork, use leftover slow-cooked or smoked pulled pork if possible. • Make sure to drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly to prevent excess liquid in the skillet. • Use a cast-iron skillet if you have one - it helps distribute heat evenly and gives a nice slight crisp to the edges. • Feel free to customize your skillet by adding diced bell peppers or swapping the cheese for a spicy pepper jack. • If you want extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle some red pepper flakes when cooking the pork. • Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, or fresh salsa on the side for a complete meal. • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
