Easy Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
Ingredients:
beef roast
1 jar red or green salsa (Herdez is our favorite)
1 jalapeno
1/2 cup water
sprinkle of garlic salt
sprinkle of pepper
juice of 1 lime
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
*flour tortillas
red or green enchilada sauce (10 oz can)
1/3 cup heavy cream
(*you can use corn tortillas instead of flour for a gluten free option- just fry them up in oil first so they don't fall apart when you roll them)
Directions:
Grab out your crockpot. Put your beef, garlic salt, pepper, salsa, water and jalapeno, in first thing in the morning, let it cook on low all day. 8-10 hours. Pull it out of the crockpot. Shred and squeeze on the lime juice.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the cheese. Put 1 1/2 cups of the cheese to the side to use on top. The other half, divide up into tortillas with the shredded beef, roll up and stick in a greased 9x13 glass pan.
Whisk together enchilada sauce and heavy cream in a small bowl. Pour over filled tortillas. Top with shredded cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes in the oven until cheese is melted and bubbly.
I love how simple, but comforting this dish is. It’s also wonderful to use leftover beef roast from a previous meal.
