Instructions
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper; cook 5 minutes more until sticky and caramelised, then set aside.
- Wipe the pan clean, heat the oil over high heat, and add the pork carnitas. Press it down lightly and cook until heated through with a golden, crisp underside, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not flip.
- Mix the browned pork with the enchilada sauce.
- Heat the grill or broiler to high. Split the rolls and divide the pork filling between the bottom halves.
- Top with the grated cheese and grill for about 3 minutes, until melted.
- Add the caramelised onions and parsley, if using. Sandwich with the roll tops and serve immediately.
