This dish was amazing! Our friends Enrique and Rosita prepared this for us with a hog Enrique had hunted earlier in the week. Very simple to make and loaded with flavor, let us know if you try it.

Update: This is a note sent to us from one of our clients that attended our From Field To Table event in New Mexico;

I just used the pulled pork enchiladas recipe to make elk enchiladas on a fishing trip to NW Wisconsin with my brothers-in-law. Everyone was impressed, evem the BIL who only compliments his own recipes {usually not that good}. He told my wife that Randy’s enchiladas were excellent. I used roasts from the elk I harvested during the Field to Table event I attended last December.
