  3. Remove the browned pork and jalapenos from the pot and set aside.
  4. In the same pot used to cook the meat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter, and onion. Cook for 2 minutes or until the onion starts to soften. Stir in the salt, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper and cook until the onion is soft.
  5. Mix in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Reduce the heat to low.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring for three minutes. Slowly pour the enchilada sauce into the onion mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
