I'm going to give this a 5 star - even though I changed things a bit. I did slow cook the roast but added a can of Rotel tomatoes w/lime & cilantro. Of course I seared the roast first, but did rub it with some chili powder prior to. I also added a tblsp of Mole paste and a couple of jarred smoked chipotle chilies to the sauce in the crock pot. Once the meat was oh so tender (about 4 hours in crock pot on low) I let it cool, shredded and then just chopped away at it so it would be a finer consistancy. I didn't make the separate grn chili/sour crm/cheese sauce. Instead, I tossed the beef in a pot, added the grn chilies along with some of the juice from the crock pot. When I was ready to assemble, I mixed some sour cream with some pre shredded mexican cheese and did the layering as written. I had heated my corn tortillas on a griddle with a some cooking spray and covered with a lid to soften. I rolled them up one at a time and then poured some Enchilada sauce on top, then put more shredded cheese on top. Baked uncovered but I think I should have let these sit for about 15 minutes as the minute I tried to take individual servings out...eeeekkkk, they feel apart, but still very YUMMY! Even better the next day! Will most likely add/detract ingredients depending on who will be eating these! Oh, I also put some fresh chopped cilantro in the beef mix as well.

This was very good. I did my meat in the crockpot to not heat up the kitchen so much. It's not necessary to roll enchiladas,so I made them flat (like lasagna). This helps with the prep time and they taste exactly the same.

OH! MY GOSH!!!! These are fabulous! The closest I've ever become to making mexican was making tacos and fajitas using a seasoning mix. I cooked my beef in a crockpot. This recipe is very easy but time consuming. The next time I make these I will do it on a Sunday and make a whole lot of them to frezze for later. Thanks for such a great recipe.

Good flavor, but oh, the mess! I tried the cut of beef suggested, and it did not fall apart for me, so that was not fun, but again, good flavor. I also will take another reviewer's suggestion about using enchilada sauce--I did not even realize it was missing that until construction! I will make again, but only maybe once a year or so.

Don't you hate it when people review a recipe, only to list the myriad ways they altered it? IMHO, that isn't reviewing the recipe at all. That said, the ONE change I made was to pour some red enchilada sauce (out of the can) on top of the enchiladas, then bake them. I also covered them, and baked them a little longer than 30 mins. For some reason, they were getting very dried-out looking (even though they were covered with sauce). The result was fabulous. Cooking the meat this way means you start earlier in the day - or the day before. However, you can do all these steps at any time of the day. I really enjoyed that, and didn't find it a liability. A previous reviewer suggested using the food processor to shred the beef. Great idea. The hot oil method works well for making flexible corn tortillas. I didn't break a single one. A wonderful recipe I will be using hereafter.

Christy is right. This is a really great recipe but very time consuming and it makes a big mess. I nearly ruined the meat by letting it boil almost dry. I also used enchillada sauce to soften flour tortillas (instead of oil) and dribbled some on top before baking. Am not sure how often I will make this because of all the work, but my family really did enjoy it!

This was really good...a definite keeper! I ended up doing it quite different than instructed but still used the same ingredients. I didnt have enough tortillas so I decided to just layer it all. I put the meat, liquids, seasonings and onion in the crockpot and cooked it all day. Then I shredded the meat once it cooled. I mixed together the meat, sour cream, shredded cheese, and chiles (omitted the flour). Sprayed the baking dish with cooking spray and did a layer of tortillas (skipped the frying process) then the meat mixture and repeated. I poured a can of enchilada sauce over it and baked for 30 minutes. My whole family loved it!

I really liked these enchiladas. I didn't find them to be that time consuming, but I started with having some shredded beef and looking for a way to cook it, so I didn't spend time on that. Next time, I'll start from the beginning because my meat was not prepared according to the recipe, and it sounds really good! I changed a fewv things. I used non-fat flour tortillas, as that's all I had. I didn't use oil, but I made some enchilada sauce from this site called 10 minute enchilada sauce. Instead of the oil, I poured some sauce in the pan and covered both sides of the tortilla with the sauce. Then I followed the recipe with the cheese sauce and the meat. I only had low fat sour cream, and it was fine. Also, I didn't have any onions, so they were left out. Anyway, I poured the left over sauce on top and covered it with cheese. I'm not sure how much, and it wasn't the kind called for in the recipe. It was a combination of grated mexican cheese, mozarella, and some irish cheese. (Can you tell I was cleaning out the fridge?) Anyway, it was absoultely great!!!!! Next time, I'll shop for the recipe and do it right. Edited to add: I made this again. I put all the ingredients for the beef in a crockpot for 8 hours on low. The flavor of the meat is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I found myself eating the meat as I rolled the enchiladas and there is none left over! YUM! One more thing, I ran out of cheese sauce before I ran out of meat, so I would double the cheese sauce.

Well...this was a new way to cook a roast..and i must say i did enjoy that. The meat tasted wonderful! The time consuming part was assembling everything else. We have always ate shredded beef tacos in my house.We make the roast in the crockpot then fry up some corn tortillas. Then put all the fixens on the table and everyone make their own. No sauce or baking required! I will definently cook my next roast this way...but will skip the rest:)

The method of cooking meat this way made my meat tender in less than 2 hours. Although the sauce was average; I used balsamic vinegar instead of the red wine vinegar, which I thought was good, the chili powder was overwhelming and the sauce lacked something...maybe lime/lemon juice to break up the flavor and would add complexity. I didn't find the flavor to be authentic, but it was worth exploring because it's simple to put together.

These were very good. I loved the meat, and thought the sauce was great. I smothered them with the Red Sauce from this site. I am only giving this recipe 4 stars because these enchiladas were a lot of work. Fortunately the recipe makes enough that I was able to divide it up into 3 portions, and have two pans in the freezer!

I have made this recipe countless times since finding it over a year ago. Every time I make it for somebody new they think Im some kinda culinary genius and always ask for the recipe. Once I was out of red wine vinegar and used balsamic instead. I have never gone back to red wine vineager since. Yum!!!

Oh my gosh! The best Enchilada recipe I have ever made! Had this for Christmas Dinner and let me tell you, this is the most Authentic Mexican Beef Enchiladas I have ever eaten. The only thing I did different was I put my roast into the crock pot overnight and cooked it until it feel apart, then drained it and shredded the beef. By far the best Enchiladas I have ever eaten even in a restaurant!!! Bravo Bravo Bravo!!!! My lifetime recipe here! Thanks for the submitting of it!!
