Slow-Cooked Shredded Beef Enchiladas

beef enchiladas

We are back from Hawaii and spending a day at my parents’ house before heading back to San Francisco. This afternoon my mom and I made shredded beef enchiladas with green chile sauce. It was so great to come home and make a home-cooked meal with her after being on vacation for 2 weeks. You can also make these with chicken. I can’t decide which version I like better! What’s your preference? We also made fresh salsa and guacamole to go along with the enchiladas-I was in heaven! Try my mom’s amazing salsa recipe and my guacamole recipe with these enchiladas as a topping.

  10. Dip each tortilla in green chile enchilada sauce and place on a 15x10 casserole dish.

  13. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
  14. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

    Being on vacation is great and I always hate coming home but one of the pluses for being back at home is being able to make home-cooking meals again. These enchiladas look amazing.

    Nice dish! I’ve made something similar, although it’s been ages. I like both beef and chicken, but I think chicken works slightly better. Good stuff – thanks.
