Enchiladas are a great way to feed a family. They’re pretty universally delicious and even satisfy the appetite of picky eaters, but once you have food restrictions in your family, you realize that nearly every store-bought enchilada sauce contains gluten, grain, and/or dairy. Making your own enchilada sauce isn’t as convenient as opening up a can, sure, but it’s insanely more delicious and better for you. So whether you have food sensitivities, or are simply looking for a delicious enchilada recipe, look no further.
The secret to pull-apart, tender pork is to give it a good sear, then slow-roast it in the oven with the sauce for a couple of hours. It takes time and a bit of babysitting, but I promise it’s worth it. The sauce is cooked alongside the pork and is blended and strained to create the most complex, silky enchilada sauce free of any thickeners.

The filling is a simple vegetable mix, and combined with the pork, these enchiladas have all the components of a crowd-pleaser dish.
Since we have some gluten sensitivities in our house, I like using the Siete tortillas but feel free to use what you prefer. After they’re cooked, I top them with cilantro, lime juice, and a plant-based sour cream or yogurt. Delicious!
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.
