Preparation
Step 1
Melt butter in a fry pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring every now and then so they cook evenly. Add remaining Caramelized Onion ingredients and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until sticky and caramelised. Remove onion from pan and set aside.
Step 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 the underside is golden brown and crisp (about 1 to 1/2 minutes), remove from pan (do not flip).
Step 3
Place Pork Carnitas and Enchilada Sauce and mix to combine.
Step 4
Preheat grill (broiler) on high.
Step 5
Split rolls in half. Divide the Filling between them and pile onto the bottom half of the roll. Top with cheese then grill (broil) for 3 minutes until melted.
Step 6
Remove from the grill, top with caramelised onion and sprinkle with parsley (if using).
Step 7
Sandwich with the other half of the bread roll and serve immediately.
