I made this last night with leftover shredded Carnitas from last taco Tuesday that I had froze along with my homemade salsa verde and it was delish! I would like more cream cheese next time but will definitely be making this again.

This is a fantastic recipe! Didn’t change a thing except I used smoked pork leftovers and it was a HUGE hit with the whole family!

In reply to Wendolyn. I usually assemble and freeze. Enjoy! Let it thaw before baking.

I would like to freeze this. Should I bake it before freezing, or just assemble and then freeze?

In reply to Sarah.

Thank you so much Sarah! I’m glad you love it and it’s a regular– I love having those in my back pocket. Keep working on that two-year-old, they’ll come around eventually. My kids were picky at that age, but now they will eat almost everything, and I believe it’s because I didn’t give up with having them try new things and re-try stuff they didn’t love. 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and rate the recipe, I truly appreciate it SO much!!

I’ve made this recipe several times now so I thought I should probably leave a comment! 🙂 I found no need to tweak! It’s my go to when I have extra pork and a hit with my husband and even my 5 year old will eat it too (still working on 2 year old, but hey, you take what you can take), which is a huge win! Thank you!

This recipe is quite delightful, I added the whole brick of cream cheese to hide the salsa taste from my kids and it was a hit they loved it! My husband especially loved it because we used pork that he had smoked 👌. Thank you so much for sharing!

i make this with either pork or chicken about two times a month or more, the only difference is that we use corn chips, makes it a bit easier to get out of the dish.

In reply to IthacaNancy. Thank you so much! I hope you loved it, and I'm so happy you were inspired. It is such a great easy and versatile recipe that everyone loves. I've made it with chicken, pork, and even replaced the meat with beans.

I had a big batch of unseasoned pulled pork and I’d used it for many other recipes – with scrambled egg/veggie/stirfry, taco/burritos, salad bowl meals, and I was ready for something different for dinner tonight. I was happy to find this simple recipe with ingredients I had in the kitchen. Very easy and , though I haven’t served it yet, I did sneak a little taste of the sauce as it was baking, and it was delightful! I’d been feeling uninspired, and not looking forward to making yet another meal, but now I’m really looking forward to dinner and to leftovers tomorrow! Thanks!

made this tonight. OMG! Delicious! The whole casserole gone. We like a more moist casserole so I added 6 oz of cream cheese to the salsa. I also added 2 chopped whole Ortega chilies with 1/8 C of the juice it comes in. Also just a few slices pickled jalapenos, chopped. Sooo delish!!!! Oh, and I added another cup of meat.

I have used this recipe twice now and plan to make again for large group this week because it gets rave reviews. I do use flour tortillas pan spun and almost double the verde salsa. It turns out great. Plan to try with chicken next.

This was amazing! My family loved it! My changes were to use more salsa Verde (3 cans 19 oz green enchilada sauce) and 8 ounces cream cheese. Baked longer. My family likes moister casseroles, and my boys are football-sized. SO yummy–will definitely make again!

This is great! Been making chili verde for years. My aunt taught me. It’s my favorite recipe. But my wife has this thing about leftovers. I guess it’s not a problem exactly, more for me, right!? But I’ll give this a whirl next time and see if I can stretch it a bit. But I will respectfully replace the pork and salsa verde in your recipe with my own proprietary solution ;). https://craftlog.com/us/cooking/salsa-verde-carnitas-Sj2h

In reply to Sara Henderson. Hi Sara, I do only use 2 oz of cream cheese, but it's mixed with the salsa, so it usually just makes it creamy. I've also made it with Sour cream. I love that you weren't afraid to make it your own. Maybe try it next time with mixing the salsa and some sour cream and a little cream cheese if you want to. You'll get a nice creamy sauce with great flavor. Or, instead of more cream cheese, you could use more salsa verde. I'm so sorry it didn't turn out exactly right for you. Keep me posted if you try something else.

I just made this recipe tonight, and it was delicious. I just had a question. The recipe calls for 2 oz of cream cheese. I barely had any sauce to put on the tortillas. I ended up using almost 2 packages of cream cheese. Is this a typo? Did you really make it with only 2 oz of cream cheese?

I just made this and I was surprised at how good it was. I had left over pork carnitas and decided to try. I was scared it would be tangy with the Verde boy was I wrong. So excited for my husband to have it when he gets home from work. Yum.

In reply to Designing Vibes. Thank you so much! That means a lot, especially on this post because casseroles can be hard to photograph. Not a lot of creativity. haha!
