Shredded Beef Enchiladas Food

SHREDDED BEEF ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
• Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the bacon drippings, lard, or vegetable oil over medium heat, add the meat, and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the roast to a plate and keep the pot over medium-low heat. Toss the onion in the pot and cook, occasionally stirring, until the onion begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Return the roast to the pot along with the coffee, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, chipotle chiles, cumin, cinnamon, and water. (The meat won't be completely covered, but don't worry; the roast will produce plenty of liquid as it cooks.)
• Bring the pot to a boil, cover, and place it in the oven. Cook the roast, covered, for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the roast practically falls apart when you prod it with a fork. (Be careful of escaping steam when removing the lid.)
• Remove the roast beef from the pot, leaving the cooking liquid in the pot to cool, and plonk it on a cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into long strands. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the cooking liquid and the onions, garlic, and chipotle chiles in the pot into a blender or food processor. Add the water and the rehydrated pasilla and ancho chiles and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
• In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the masa harina or flour, whisking constantly, until it's well incorporated and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture from the blender into the pot, stirring until it's well combined. Stir in the cumin, oregano, and allspice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and the flavors are balanced. Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly butter a large baking dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well).
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the lard or oil, if desired. One at a time, heat the tortillas, flipping once, until soft and pliant. Keep the tortillas wrapped in a clean cloth until all the tortillas are heated.
• Toss the shredded beef with 2 tablespoons sauce. Place a tortilla on a plate and add about 1/4 cup shredded beef. Roll the tortilla and place in the buttered baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and shredded beef. (You may have some shredded beef left over. It's ridiculously awesome with eggs in the morning.)
• Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with the grated cheese and diced onion. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbling. Dig in immediately.

Steps:

• Place the roast in your crock pot. Mix the tomatoes, green chilies and spices in a bowl. Stir until mixed and pour over roast. Let cook on low for 8-9 hours. When roast is done shred it with two forks to make shredded beef. Dip each tortilla in the sauce and roll up with 2 tablespoons shredded beef and 1 Tablespoon cheese. Place all enchiladas in two 9x13 pans. Pour remaining sauce over top of enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven about 15 Minutes or until cheese in melted. Top with sour cream and tomatoes if desired.
• Tip: If you don't have the tomatoes just use the equivelant in tomato juice, salsa, etc. The results will still be fantastic.

Steps:

• Grill or sear the steak, then braise it with the liquid and spices at 300 degrees until it falls apart, about two hours. (If using smoked beef brisket, since it is pre-cooked, shred the meat then add liquid, spices and other sautéed ingredients, mixing well, then heat in 300 degree oven till heated through and liquid is absorbed. About 2 hours).
• Sauté the onions and garlic, add the meat and chiles, mix well. Heat the oil over medium heat, heat the tortillas in the oil, about 5 seconds on each side, but not until they are crisp.
• Roll some of the filling in each tortilla. Place in a greased pan, seam side down. Top with sauce and cheese, and bake at 375 degress until bubbly.
• Enchilada Sauce:.
• 5 Tbs. white flour.
• 5 Tbs. cold water.
• 1/3 teaspoons sugar.
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon (less than 1/16 tsp.).
• 3/4 teaspoons salt.
• 2 heaping teaspoons garlic powder (with no salt added).
• 1 teaspoons ground cumin.
• 4 Tbs Chili Powder.
• 2 cups chicken broth.
• makes about 2 cups.
• In a 2 quart sauce pan add the chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar (the sugar is a little secret to eliminate.
• any bitter taste from the chili powder).
• Use a whisk to mix everything well. Heat to a boil, reduce heat to a low boil and cook for 3 minutes. Whisk frequently to make sure all spices dissolve. This is important for flavor and a nice smooth sauce.
• While the sauce is on a slow simmer/boil, add 5 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl.
• With another whisk mix 1 tablespoon at a time of flour. Whisk vigorously to avoid lumps. If you have lumps here, you will definitely have lumps in your sauce.
• After 3 minutes of cooking sauce, turn the heat up to high. Very slowly, pour the flour mixture into the boiling sauce. Here you must whisk the sauce vigorously while adding the flour to avoid lumps.
• After all the flour is added, continue to whisk for one minute. You can turn the heat down to medium during this time. Just make sure the sauce is boiling.
• Turn off the heat, this enchilada sauce recipe is done.
• If you do not use the sauce right away, you will notice that as this sauce sits it will form a "skin" on the surface. This is normal and in fact the longer the sauce sits the thicker this skin becomes. All you have to do is peel the skin off and throw it away.
