  • Total Time: 6 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 15 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 10 taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker and pour in the beef broth. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the roast. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until fork-tender.
  2. Remove the roast and shred using two forks. Discard excess fat if necessary.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  5. Place about 1/4 cup shredded beef and 2 tablespoons cheese down the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas.
  7. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cook on high for 4 hours if short on time, though low heat yields more tender beef.
  • Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking.
  • Add black beans or green chiles to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use corn tortillas for a more traditional flavor.
  • Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
