Sometimes the slow cooker is a source of easy, one-crock meals; other times it’s merely a crucial stop in a longer journey. These rich, comforting enchiladas are in the latter category: Pork shoulder, dried chiles, and tomatoes slowly turn luscious over as many as 10 hours in the slow cooker, then get turned into a memorable filling, rolled into sauce-dipped tortillas and baked under a blanket of cheese. Serve these on a Sunday afternoon with a refreshing tangle of jicama and orange salad and a pitcher of agua de Jamaica or beer.
Game plan: Cook the pork shoulder up to 2 days before you need it, remove it from the cooking liquid, let it cool for an hour, and refrigerate both the meat and liquid overnight. Skimming the fat is a breeze after it’s solidified, and rolling and baking the enchiladas will take no time at all.
