Chuck for enchiladas

[gtsum]

Had a hankering for some shredded beef enchiladas so picked up a pack of chuck roasts at Costco and tracked down some chilis at the local market and started to fiddle around waiting for football games to start today.

Seasoned up with some smokey chipotle rub and Mexicano seasoning (atbbq) On the M1 burning white oak running about 300-325

After about 5 hours...think I transferred to foil to braise at about 175 IT

Toasted up 3 kinds of chili’s in the Dutch oven and then soaked in boiling water for about 30 minutes

Toasted a couple of tomatoes and a white onion in the Dutch oven and then into the blender along with the chili’s and the water. The vita mix makes short work of it and the consistency was perfect. Then cooked it down for about 30 minutes.

Shredded easily and starting building. My tortillas sucked big time and were tearing..we coat them in the sauce before building each one...is there a better way so the tortilla has a more firm structure?

Somehow, I forgot to get a completed pic. They were very good with a lot of flavor with a lot more depth than a store bought enchilada sauce...the tortillas just sucked. Been a long time since I had a shredded chuck roast...dang it was tasty! Thanks for looking and have a good weekend!

This is definitely headed in a good direction.

If you can find raw tortillas, use em. Over cook them a bit. Then work with em.

Looks like a fine beef enchilada to me.

For corn tort integrity I do a shallow oil fry of the torts, just a quick in, wait 4 secs, turn and another 4 seconds and out to a drain towel. Torts now have some structural integrity and ready to roll.

That shredded chuck looks awesome.

Ah ha...Fry quickly and let dry for more structure? Will do that next time for sure. Thanks!
