It really does not take that long to make them and they are tasty.

Shredded Mexican Beef

We made a crockpot shredded mexican beef as our filling and the recipe is here. There are several different fillings that you can use, but shredded beef is a solid choice. With this recipe, you can start it in the morning before you go to work and come home to a great smelling house. Then, you can cook the other elements in a reasonable amount of time and enjoy some fantastic shredded beef enchiladas.

Enchilada Sauce

Most recently, we made a tomato based enchilada sauce. The enchilada sauce adds the chili to the mix and completes the necessary ingredients for this dish.

Cheese to top off our shredded beef enchiladas

Cheese is not needed, but it makes almost everything better, doesn’t it? I don’t think it would need to be included in the ingredients list to make it an authentic enchilada, but almost every enchilada I have ever had has been smothered with cheese. Besides, cheese is awesome.
