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.

Easy Shredded Beef or Pork Enchiladas image

I Love to mimic things I eat at restaurants. I got this one from a Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant. It's so yummy and so simple not any spices but salt and enchilada sauce. Red or Green sauce, either will do. Save 1/2 of the meat in freezer for a future dinner.

Shredded Beef Filling for Enchiladas Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by HeatherS

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3-pound beef brisket
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 14-ounce can beef broth
1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar

Remove meat. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and set aside, reserving cooking liquid. Halve meat crosswise. When meat is cool enough to handle, use forks to pull meat apart into shreds. Place shredded meat in a serving bowl. Stir onions into meat. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking liquid (1/2 to 1 cup) to moisten meat. If desired, use remaining cooking liquid to make Chile Enchilada Sauce (recipe below) To assemble: Pre-heat oven to 350F In the center of each tortillas place about 1/3 cup filling, then carefully roll up the filled tortilla. Place sauce, enchiladas, and cheese in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake enchiladas, covered, in a 350F oven about 25 minutes or until heated through. Uncover and cook another 5 minutes for browning cheese. CHILE ENCHILADA SAUCE In a bowl, combine two 10-ounce cans enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid from Shredded Chicken Filling or Shredded Beef Filling (see recipes, left) or Vi cup vegetable broth.
