Did you know it’s Beef Month and so these Easy Shredded Beef Enchiladas fit perfectly! We are lucky enough to be able to purchase our beef from friends, who are farmers! We purchase it a half at a time (which means we get a half of a cow processed at a local locker) and our favorite locker is Lewright Meats in Eagle Grove, IA! This also means that we can have cuts of meats that we don’t eat as often as others! Ground beef goes REALLY fast in our house, steaks are close behind. Roasts…slowly bring up the tail end.
So, I’ve been hunting for recipes to use with roast beef. Last month I introduced Shredded Beef Tostadas! Well, I have good news and bad news The good is that I thought they were fantastic and the shredded beef that I concocted was melt in your mouth good. The bad news is that T thought the tostadas were too messy and hard to eat! I thought to myself…how can I use this mexi-beef in another dish? So, without further adieu…
Easy Shredded Beef Enchiladas
- 3-4 cups shredded cooked roast beef
- 2 cups water
- 1T beef broth
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can Ro-Tel
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- Flour tortillas
- 1 can Enchilada sauce
- Shred the already cooked roast into bite size pieces and place in a small crock pot.
- Boil 2 cups of water and dissolve the taco seasoning and beef soup base in the water, pour over beef.
- Let the beef mixture simmer at least 4 hours.
- Drain the liquid and let it cool.
- Drain the can of Rotel and combine in a small bowl with the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Then, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- On one tortilla, spread 2T of the cheese mixture along the center of the flour tortilla and place about 1/3 cup of the shredded beef on top and roll up.
- Place in pan and cover with foil.
- Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the enchiladas are hot throughout.
- Remove from the oven and pour Enchilada sauce over and top with more cheddar cheese!
- Place under a hot broiler until the cheese in melted.
These enchiladas are not super spicy, so if you prefer things with a bit more kick, add some spices to fit your heat level preference. These are relatively easy to throw together and I hope you enjoy the enchiladas as much as we did!
We’ve been having Taco Tuesday every week in our house….so I’m needing more ideas, thank you!
