BBQ Pork Enchiladas are a delicious way to turn leftover pork into a new and exciting meal. This recipe combines tender pulled pork with zesty chilies, diced onions, and a rich, bold enchilada sauce. The whole mixture is then wrapped in corn tortillas and baked to perfection with a generous layer of melted cheese on top. Whether you're a fan of Mexican food or just looking for a new way to use up leftovers, these BBQ pork enchiladas are sure to be a hit.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.	In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3.	Add the leftover BBQ pork and diced chilies to the skillet with the onions, and stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes until the pork is heated through.
4.	In a separate saucepan, heat the canned red enchilada sauce over medium heat.
5.	Dip each corn tortilla in the warm enchilada sauce to coat, then fill with a few spoonfuls of the pork mixture and roll up. Place each enchilada seam-side down in a large baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
6.	Once all enchiladas are rolled and placed in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top.
7.	Crumble the panela cheese on top of the enchiladas, followed by the shredded colby-monterey jack cheese.
8.	Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
