Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups shredded Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork)
• ½ cup Enchilada Sauce (preferably homemade - here is my Easy Classic Enchilada Sauce)
• 1½ tbsp butter
• 2 brown onions, halved and finely sliced
• 1½ tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• ½ tsp salt
• Black pepper
• ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese (or any other good melting cheese)
• 4 soft white bread rolls
• Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Directions

• Melt butter in a fry pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring every now and then so they cook evenly. Add remaining Caramelized Onion ingredients and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until sticky and caramelised. Remove onion from pan and set aside.
• Brown Pork Carnitas: Wipe pan clean and return to stove. Heat ½ tbsp oil over high heat. Add Pork Carnitas and press down lightly with a spatula to help crisp up. When the Pork Carnitas are heated through and the underside is golden brown and crisp (about 1 to ½ minutes), remove from pan (do not flip).
• Place Pork Carnitas and Enchilada Sauce and mix to combine.
• Preheat grill (broiler) on high.
• Split rolls in half. Divide the Filling between them and pile onto the bottom half of the roll. Top with cheese then grill (broil) for 3 minutes until melted.
• Remove from the grill, top with caramelised onion and sprinkle with parsley (if using).
• Sandwich with the other half of the bread roll and serve immediately.
