Ingredients
Scale
For the Shredded Beef
- 2 lbs beef roast
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning (I use a homemade blend but you can use store bought if you like)
- 1 1/2 cups chunky mild salsa
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 medium onion, chopped
For the rest of the Recipe
- 1 1/3 cup sour cream
- 4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups + 2 tbsps enchilada sauce (You can use my recipe for homemade enchilada sauce)
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup black olives, sliced
Instructions
Make the Shredded Beef
- Coat the beef roast in the taco seasonings and place into the slow cooker
- Pour the salsa on top of the roast.
- Slow cook the beef on High for about 6 hours.
- Once Beef has cooked for 6 hours pull the meat apart using two forks. Since the meat has been cooking a while it should be tender enough to come apart easily. (If you have a stand mixer you can shred the meat by setting the mixer to it’s lowest setting using the paddle attachment. Watch carefully not to over mix though.)
- Now add the chopped onions and corn to the slow cooker and mix everything together.
- Cook in the slow cooker for an additional 1-2 hours.
- This makes a huge amount of meat for enchiladas – enough for 12! This stores very well in the freezer if you’re only making a few enchiladas.
For the Enchiladas
- In a large rectangular baking dish (9″ will fit 8 enchiladas) mix 1 1/3 cup of sour cream with 2 tbsps of enchilada sauce. Mix this together well and spread evenly on the bottom of the dish.
- One at a time take a tortilla and spoon some of the meat in a lengthwise position and layer on top of that some salsa and then some cheese. I don’t measure this out exactly but keep try to distribute the ingredients evenly between each tortilla.
- Fold up each end of the tortilla and then roll it up so that the contents are inside.
- Place each rolled up enchilada into the baking dish on top of the sour cream mixture with the seam sides down.
- Once the enchilada’s have been arranged into the baking dish, pour the 2 cups of enchilada sauce over top. Make sure that the sauce is on each enchilada.
- Top this with some shredded cheese, green onions and black olives.
- Place into the oven uncovered and bake for about 15-20 minutes at 375°F. The cheese on top should be melted.
- The enchiladas are awesome when paired with spanish rice.
