Shredded Beef Enchiladas image

This is a great (time-consuming, but worth it) recipe. I keep losing it so I thought I'd post it on the web. Enjoy.

Provided by Christy Campbell

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds beef chuck roast
¼ cup water
1 ½ cups beef broth
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 large onion, chopped
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups sour cream
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 cup oil for frying
20 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Place roast in a large saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid. Pour in water, cover, and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium/high, and brown the roast on all sides. Once the water has boiled away, pour in the beef broth, vinegar, chili powder and 1 tablespoon of cumin. Cover tightly and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the beef falls apart when you try to pick it up. Shred the beef, using 2 forks or your fingers. Place shredded beef back into the saucepan with all the juices, and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large skillet, saute the onion until just soft, not browned. Mix in flour and green chilies. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook the flour taste out. Stir in sour cream and 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is all melted and mixed. Set aside and let cool.
  • In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil. Using tongs dip the tortillas, one at a time, into the oil for 30 seconds each side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread 4 tablespoons of sour cream mixture down the center of the tortilla. Top with about the same amount of beef. Roll up and place seam side down in one or two 8x11 inch baking dish. Repeat for each tortilla. Continue until you are out of the filling. Sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality tortilla. This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for tortillas that are fresh, soft, and pliable.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. This will make them difficult to roll and will also make them more likely to fall apart.
  • Be careful not to overcook the enchiladas. They should be cooked until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are heated through, but they should not be dry or crispy.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de Gallo.
  • Make them ahead of time. Enchiladas can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until you're ready to bake them. This makes them a great option for busy weeknights.
