Description

Not everyone is lucky enough to live near a good Mexican restaurant. If you are one of the unlucky ones, you will enjoy this delicious dish that you can make at home. Serve with black beans and a little more refried beans on the side, if you wish.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 - 2 lb. stew meat or other beef cubed, like top sirloin
• 19 oz. large can red enchilada sauce, store bought or homemade, plus extra for serving, mildness to your taste
• 1-2 beef bouillon cubes
• 1/2 can refried beans, optional
• 5-7 burrito size flour tortillas
• 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese, or more if desired

Steps

1. Place a crock pot liner in the base of the crock pot for easy clean up.
2. Put meat, bouillon cubes ( NO water), and enchilada sauce into the crock pot; cook on Low 7-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, or until meat is very tender. It will depend on the size of your meat cubes.
3. It can also be cooked it in a Dutch oven for about 4 hours at 325 degrees, or cook in a large heavy saucepan. Bring it to a boil on High heat, reduce heat to Low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. With these alternative methods, make sure the pot is covered and well sealed to prevent evaporation of the liquid.
