Ingredients

• Caramelized Onions:
• 1 1/2 tbsp butter
• 2 brown onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Black pepper
• Filling:
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Pork Carnitas
• 1/2 cup homemade enchilada sauce
• To Serve:
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella

Directions

1. Melt butter in fry pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining Caramelized Onions ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until sticky and caramelized. Remove onion from pan and set aside.

2. Brown Pork Carnitas: Wipe pan clean and return to stove. Heat 1/2 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 underside is golden and crisp (about 1 1/2 minutes), remove from pan (do not flip).
