Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1 cup salsa verde
Instructions
- Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks. In a heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef until browned on all sides.
- Remove the beef and sauté chopped onions and minced garlic in the same pot until fragrant.
- Return the beef to the pot, add enough beef broth to cover it, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours until tender.
- Shred the cooked beef using two forks, mixing some broth back into it for moisture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Assemble enchiladas by placing shredded beef and salsa verde on each tortilla, rolling them tightly.
- Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish, top with remaining salsa verde and cheese, and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly.
