My husband doesn't really like ground beef in tacos, enchiladas, etc. so I decided to make shredded beef enchiladas based on Pioneer Woman's ground beef ones.
I threw a 2 lb. chuck beef roast in the slow cooker all day on low (about 8 hours) with a large can of diced green chiles and a little water.
I made the enchilada sauce from PW:
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
1 can (28 Ounce)
Enchilada Or Red Sauce
2 cups Chicken Broth
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2
teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add oil and flour and whisk together to
make a paste, cooking for one minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth,
cilantro, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30-45
minutes.
Once the sauce was done I dipped yellow corn tortillas in the enchilada sauce and laid a layer of them on a greased baking dish overlapping. Then I added some shredded beef over the top of those. Then I added some grated cheddar cheese to the top of that. Then I drizzled (heavily) some sauce to the top of that. Then I repeated the process, ending with tortillas covered in cheese and sauce on top.
I did it this way because I didn't want to take the time to fry the tortillas or roll them all into individual enchiladas. So I guess this is more of a beef enchilada casserole.
Anyway, this was delicious and I definitely prefer the shredded beef. Top with sour cream and fresh cilantro leaves.
