Since it was Mother's Day in Mexico, I thought it would be nice to surprse my mom with a mexican dinner when she got home from work. Our neighbor had just given us fresh nopales, cactus, and we had left over rice from a party.Dad was thinking on making pork ribs.But after hearing my idea, a new idea formed: pull pork enchiladas (montadas optional). The pork was cooked slowly on the bbq, giving me just enough time to prepare the salad and chop the enchilada ingredients.
Ensalada de Nopal:
- Nopales, chopped and boiled
- Onion, chopped
- Tomato, chopped
- Cilantro
- Lime juice
- Jalapeno or Serano chile
Pulled Pork Enchilada:
- Tortillas
- Cheddar and Monterrey Jack Cheese, shredded
- Onion, diced
- Black Olives, sliced
- Pork
- Enchilada Sauce
First fry a tortilla, then dip it in the enchilada sauce. Top with cheese, onions, and pork. Fry and dip a second tortilla. Top with cheese and olives. For an enchilada montada, add a fried egg.
