Pork and Pineapple Enchiladas

April 07, 2015

Cooking for a crowd? My husband says I always cook enough for a crowd, no matter how many people show up at our dinner table. I say it's good to be prepared. Take this recipe for enchiladas for example: The night I made these, our friend and my husband’s bandmate Katie were going to be working on a duet, so we invited her for dinner. Why? Because there's always enough food at Shel's! Just season up some pork, cook it all day in the slow cooker, shred and turn it into these delicio

2 lb. pork loin (can also use pork butt)
1 1/4 t. salt, divided
1 1/4 t. pepper, divided
1 c. chunk pineapple
1/4 c. pineapple juice (I bought canned pineapple and used the juice from the can)
1/4 c. green onion, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced and divided
2 T. olive oil
2 T. all purpose flour
1 (15 oz.) can low sodium chicken broth
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 T. tomato paste
2 T. chili powder
1 t. cumin
1 t. onion powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. smoked paprika
1/8 t. cayenne pepper
20 small flour tortillas (I used fajita sized)
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

Trim the fat from the pork loin and season it with 1 t. each of salt and pepper. Place the pork in a 4 or 6 qt. slow cooker and add the pineapple, pineapple juice, green onion, jalapeno and 1 chipotle...
