Shredded Beef Enchiladas (Significantly modified by Cynthia Bee)
INGREDIENTS:3 pounds beef chuck roast
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 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
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided (best with Pepper Jack)
20 (6 inch) flour tortillas
DIRECTIONS:1. Place roast in a large crockpot. Pour in the beef broth, vinegar, chili powder and 1 tablespoon of cumin. Cover tightly and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. Shred the beef, using 2 forks or your fingers, while still in the crockpot. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer in the juices and spices for at least one more hour. 2. 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 (our our favorite pepper jack) cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is all melted and mixed. Set aside and let cool.3. To turn these into chimichangas- you would fill the tortillas with the meat and deep fry at this point. I omit this step as these taste better minus the deep frying (in my opinion)4. 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.5. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.TIP: The cook-at-home tortillas (Tortillaland brand) available at Costco make these extra yummy. They are a little more work but will bump the recipe up to ‘restaurant quality’.Tip #2- This is a good thing to do with leftover pot roast. Just take the shredded meat, combine in crockpot with spices as listed above and cook for at least 2 hours so meat will soak up spices and juices.
