Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear each side until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth, and add chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine.
Place the pork back into the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once the pork is done, shred it in the pot using two forks and mix it well with the sauce.
Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Spread 1/2 cup of gluten-free enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Warm the gluten-free tortillas slightly in the microwave to make them pliable. Divide the pulled pork mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
