Shredded Beef Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Trim, cut, pat dry and season the beef with salt and pepper. Coat the bottom of a large heavy Dutch oven with oil. Heat the oil, over medium heat, and brown the beef, in batches, being careful to not crowd. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, if needed, to finish the beef. As the beef browns, add it to a bowl and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the pot over medium heat and add the onions; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute more, then stir in the stock to deglaze the pan. Add the browned beef, the vinegar and the water and cover tightly. Put the pot in the oven and after 45 minutes, give the beef a stir. Cover and cook for an additional 2 hours and 15 minutes, stirring every 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Shred with forks, incorporating the onions and garlic.
• When ready to assemble, put 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat with just enough enchilada sauce to coat the bottom. Dip the tortillas, 1 at a time, into the sauce, and cook until tender, about 1 minute each. Combine the cheeses in a medium bowl. Remove the enchiladas to a flat surface. Fill each with some of the shredded meat and cheese, (reserve some cheese for the top of the baking pan). Roll and arrange them, seam side down, in the baking pan, packing the enchiladas tightly. Add additional sauce to come 1/3 up the sides of the enchiladas, then sprinkle a line of cheese, lengthwise, down the center of the pan. Garnish with green onions and black olives. Bake until bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let sit for 5 minutes and then serve with sour cream.
• Add the boiling water to a large bowl and add all of the chiles. Let steep in water for 1 hour.
• Transfer the chiles and the steeping liquid to a blender and puree for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the blender and strain through strainer.
• Heat the oil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, saute until soft. Stir in the diced tomatoes, strained chiles, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper and cloves. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for approximately 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place roast in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover roast with water and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium/high and brown roast on all sides. Once the water has boiled away and the roast is browned, add beef broth, vinegar, chili powder and cumin. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef falls apart. Shred the beef. Place shredded beef back into saucepan with all the juices and cool to room temperature.
• In a large skillet, saute onion util soft. Mix in flour and green chilies. Stir for 2 minutes to cook off the flour taste. Stir in sour cream and 2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is melted and mixed thoroughly. Set aside and let cool.
• In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil. Fry the tortillas in the hot oil for 30 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread 4 tablespoons of sour cream mixture down the center of the tortilla. Top with the same amount of the beef mixture (yes, this will be juicy and messy). Roll up and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat for each tortilla, until you are out of filling. Sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
• **Note: If you prefer a milder dish, omit the 4 ounce can of jalapeno peppers and replace it with another can of diced green chilies.
• I serve each enchilada on a bed of shredded lettuce sprinkled with diced tomatoes. I top each enchilada with a dollup of sour cream and serve with a side of salsa.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Chop the cooked flank steak to a fine dice. Saute chopped flank steak in a little oil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through. Add cilantro and onion and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine the 1 cup of the Monterey jack and 1 cup of the Cheddar and mix well. Add cheese to steak mixture. Stir well and reserve, covered.
• In another saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry tortillas, one at a time, just until soft, about 10 seconds. Pat tortillas dry on paper towels. Portion out beef mixture evenly among the 16 tortillas and roll up. Place enchiladas on a baking sheet or in 1or 2 rectangular casserole dishes.
• Cover enchiladas with Cilantro Cream Sauce and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cheese melts and sauce is bubbling.
• Blanch cilantro in boiling water for 30 seconds and puree in blender with jalapeno. In a saucepan reduce heavy cream by half. Stir in cilantro-jalapeno puree and cumin. Adjust with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Grill or sear the steak, then braise it with the liquid and spices at 300 degrees until it falls apart, about two hours. (If using smoked beef brisket, since it is pre-cooked, shred the meat then add liquid, spices and other sautéed ingredients, mixing well, then heat in 300 degree oven till heated through and liquid is absorbed. About 2 hours).
• Sauté the onions and garlic, add the meat and chiles, mix well. Heat the oil over medium heat, heat the tortillas in the oil, about 5 seconds on each side, but not until they are crisp.
• Roll some of the filling in each tortilla. Place in a greased pan, seam side down. Top with sauce and cheese, and bake at 375 degress until bubbly.
• Enchilada Sauce:.
• 5 Tbs. white flour.
• 5 Tbs. cold water.
• 1/3 teaspoons sugar.
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon (less than 1/16 tsp.).
• 3/4 teaspoons salt.
• 2 heaping teaspoons garlic powder (with no salt added).
• 1 teaspoons ground cumin.
• 4 Tbs Chili Powder.
• 2 cups chicken broth.
• makes about 2 cups.
• In a 2 quart sauce pan add the chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar (the sugar is a little secret to eliminate.
• any bitter taste from the chili powder).
• Use a whisk to mix everything well. Heat to a boil, reduce heat to a low boil and cook for 3 minutes. Whisk frequently to make sure all spices dissolve. This is important for flavor and a nice smooth sauce.
• While the sauce is on a slow simmer/boil, add 5 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl.
• With another whisk mix 1 tablespoon at a time of flour. Whisk vigorously to avoid lumps. If you have lumps here, you will definitely have lumps in your sauce.
• After 3 minutes of cooking sauce, turn the heat up to high. Very slowly, pour the flour mixture into the boiling sauce. Here you must whisk the sauce vigorously while adding the flour to avoid lumps.
• After all the flour is added, continue to whisk for one minute. You can turn the heat down to medium during this time. Just make sure the sauce is boiling.
• Turn off the heat, this enchilada sauce recipe is done.
• If you do not use the sauce right away, you will notice that as this sauce sits it will form a "skin" on the surface. This is normal and in fact the longer the sauce sits the thicker this skin becomes. All you have to do is peel the skin off and throw it away.

Steps:

• Place the roast in your crock pot. Mix the tomatoes, green chilies and spices in a bowl. Stir until mixed and pour over roast. Let cook on low for 8-9 hours. When roast is done shred it with two forks to make shredded beef. Dip each tortilla in the sauce and roll up with 2 tablespoons shredded beef and 1 Tablespoon cheese. Place all enchiladas in two 9x13 pans. Pour remaining sauce over top of enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven about 15 Minutes or until cheese in melted. Top with sour cream and tomatoes if desired.
• Tip: If you don't have the tomatoes just use the equivelant in tomato juice, salsa, etc. The results will still be fantastic.

Steps:

• Prepare Enchilada Sauce #402189.
• As it simmers, fry the ground beef and onions - season well with salt and pepper.
• When the ground beef is cooked through, remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
• Stir in half of the can of black beans (or more if you prefer!) and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese.
• Assemble enchiladas by placing several tablespoons of filling in the tortilla and rolling it up tightly.
• Place 1 cup of Enchilada Sauce #402189 in the bottom of the casserole (enough to cover the bottom).
• Place enchiladas side by side in the pan, top with remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in a covered casserole pan at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, until tortillas are tender and heated through.

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, add shredded beef and diced onions, mix well and set aside.
• In a medium size sauce pan, add the oil, flour, and chili powder. Turn to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.
• Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to boil for one minute, then whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmering boil it will begin to thicken slightly after about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Add salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, mix to combine and then add about 1/4 cup of sauce to the shredded beef mixture and stir to combine. Set aside remaining sauce for enchiladas.
• In a small size skillet, add oil to medium-high heat. Gently add one tortilla at a time and fry to a semi soft stage. Dab each tortilla with paper towels to remove excess oil.
• As each tortilla is fried and dabbed with paper towels, stack them to keep them soft for rolling.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
• Lay (one at a time) fried tortilla on a flat surface, add about 2 tablespoons shredded beef mixture to the middle of the fried tortilla and top with about 1 teaspoon shredded cheese.
• Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking dish (seam side down). Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. (For best results, line the enchiladas into two rows of 6).
• Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas, and then add remaining shredded cheese evenly to the top of the sauce and top with the sliced olives.
• Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. Serve with sour cream, optional.
• Makes: 6 servings.

Steps:

• For the filling: In large pot, cook ground beef, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder and cilantro over medium heat until beef is browned all the way through.
• For the gravy: In a large pot on low heat, add flour and vegetable oil. Cook, stirring often, for 30 minutes, to make a dark brown roux for the gravy. Add 1/4 cup water, the beef bouillon, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Continue to cook until you have the consistency for the gravy, another 5 minutes.
• For the enchiladas: Heat a griddle or grill on medium heat. Spray cooking spray or put oil on griddle. Place tortillas on griddle until pliable for folding, about 15 seconds.
• Place tortillas on a flat surface. Add meat to a tortilla and roll up, keeping the seam side down. Place on a microwave/oven-safe plate. Repeat until all tortillas are used.
• Spoon gravy over enchiladas until covered. Top with Cheddar and place in microwave or oven until cheese melts. Top with onions, if using.
