Shredded Beef Enchiladas
Tender and flavorful Mexican shredded beef is transformed into these delicious enchiladas smothered with enchilada sauce and melted cheese!
Servings 8 enchiladas
Ingredients
- 1 (19 ounce) can red enchilada sauce divided
- 3 cups Mexican shredded beef
- 1 (4 ½ ounce) can diced green chiles well drained
- 8 (8 inch) tortillas flour or corn
- 8 ounces colby jack cheese shredded, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spread ½ cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish.
- Toss together the shredded beef and green chiles in a medium bowl.
- Wrap the stack of 8 tortillas in dampened paper towels and microwave for 1 minute.
- Evenly distribute beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each tortilla (reserve HALF of the cheese for topping).
- Wrap tortillas tightly and place seam-side down into the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake (uncovered) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling around the edges of dish.
- Top with desired toppings.
Notes
- Cheddar jack can be substituted for colby jack cheese.
- Microwaving tortillas isn't technically required but there are less chances of tearing the tortillas when wrapping if they are heated.
