Clean and slice the pork into small ribbons. Chop the onions 1. into 1/2 " pieces.
In a large skillet, saute the onion until soft, add the chile and hot sauce. Clear the center of the pan and add the pork. Gently saute until the pork has turned gray and it's juices are reduced. To this add the flour, stir to incorporate completely, and increase the heat for about 5 minutes stirring to keep the flour from sticking to pan. Add the spices and water or chicken stock, stir to remove the browned bits from the pan. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 1 1/2 Hrs. Stir often to prevent sticking. Add water if the sauce gets too thick.

Spoon remaining filling over top, along the sides and between the enchiladas. Bake in 275 oven for 20 Minutes. Top with grated cheese. Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
