Guys.  I do solemnly swear that I will never ever ever eat another ground beef enchilada in my life.

WHY didn’t I make shredded beef enchiladas sooner?

These completely trump chicken, they trump ground beef, they are off the charts good.

Honestly, I’ve always been a cheese enchilada kinda girl.  Let me tell you, I am converted to beef as of this moment.

We absolutely LOVE Mexican food in this house.

Tex-Mex is more accurate I suppose.  I envy people that live in a place they can get really good authentic Mexican food.

Pretty much everything in the Midwest is Tex-Mex – but, that’s what I grew up eating and I have a strong affection for it.

Especially when it’s as easy as these enchiladas.

Yes, I do use flour tortillas most often for my enchiladas – some people say that makes it a “burrito”  I say potato/po-tah-to.

You can totally use corn tortillas instead if that’s your thing!

Enjoy!

    I make a large pot roast so we eat enchiladas for a week and no one complains it’s that good! And when I haven’t made it for a while then it gets requested. The family loves these enchiladas!

    I love the recipe, I will definitely make again. I just couldn’t discard the juices in the crock pot and use canned enchilada sauce, so I added flour to thicken it up to my liking and used that for the enchilada sauce.. my family absolutely loved. Thank you for this amazing recipe..

    Made these for the 5th time, and they never disappoint!
    Never will I make ground beef enchiladas again.
    Thank you for this delicious recipe!

  4. Made this recipe with beef country ribs and beef short ribs. The sauce in the bottom is delicious, I feel bad discarding this sauce and using canned enchilada sauce for the enchiladas. Can I thicken the sauce from the crockpot with a corn starch slury and use that for my enchilada sauce?
