Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded carnitas in the center of each tortilla, followed by a tablespoon of black beans and a sprinkle of shredded colby jack cheese. Roll them up snugly.
Carefully roll each tortilla and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded colby jack cheese generously over the top.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with fresh pico de gallo and a dollop of sour cream.

Warm tortillas properly to prevent tearing, avoid overfilling, and let the enchiladas cool briefly before serving.
