As much as I love tacos, I might love enchiladas just as much. What I don’t love is making enchiladas. The main reason I don’t prefer to make enchiladas is they can leave an extra messy kitchen. Making the sauce, dipping the tortillas in sauce, and then filling the enchiladas. I can picture a sauce covered counter now. (Okay Alex, where are you going with this- do you want me to make this recipe or not?) Hear me out. If you have the same gripes, this recipe is for you. The meat is made simply in the crockpot. And the sauce requires you to just dump a jar of green enchilada sauce & Queso in a pan. Yep. That’s it.
Shredded Beef Enchiladas with Creamy Verde Sauce
Equipment
- Crockpot / Slow Cooker
Ingredients
Verde Shredded Beef
- 1-1.5 LB skirt steak
- 1/2 C salsa verde
- 1/2 white or yellow onion, sliced
Enchiladas
- 8 grain free tortillas
- 1 16oz can green enchilada sauce
- 1 can (10 oz) dairy free queso, blanco Sub: sour cream
- cilantro, chopped garnish
- pico de gallo garnish
Instructions
Verde Shredded Beef
- In the crockpot add onion, steak & salsa verde. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- When fully cooked, shred beef & onions. This will be your enchilada filling
Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375°
- In a small bowl, combine the enchilada sauce & queso.
- Prepare a medium to large baking pan by adding 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce mixture to the bottom of the pan. Spread around in an even layer.
- Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds. You can also soften over an open flame on your stove top. warming the tortillas will make them easier to roll into enchiladas.
- Fill each tortilla with 2-3 Tbsp of shredded beef. Roll into an enchilada & lay in the pan, flap side down. Repeat for all 8 enchiladas.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas. Give the pan a little shake to allow the sauce to settle down into the enchiladas.
- Cover the Pan with foil or a lid & cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, garnish with pico de gallo & cilantro & Serve. I recommend a side of chips and salsa!
