Wild Pig Enchiladas

In my opinion, the best way to cook wild pig or boar is by slow roasting or slow smoking over natural wood coals. Something about the flavor of seasoned smoky fall-off-the-bone pig just makes my mouth water.

Poke holes throughout the loins. Combine the next 10 ingredients in a non-reactive bowl. Place loins in bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Place loins in a medium-low heat smoker or barbecue and slow-cook until internal temperature is about 150 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and place in a baking dish, cover with onions and enchilada sauce and bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 hour or until meat starts to fall apart.

Dip tortillas in pan sauce. Place pulled meat and a little cheese in each tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese and bake in a 375 degree oven until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
