Beef Brisket Bliss Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients:

3 pounds beef brisket

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion diced

4 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup beef broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

12 large flour tortillas or large corn tortillas

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (19 oz) red enchilada sauce

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Sour cream for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Rub the beef brisket with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

4. Remove the brisket and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.

5. Add the chili powder, cumin, and oregano to the pot, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

7. Return the brisket to the pot, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

8. Remove the brisket from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks.

9. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

10. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.

11. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.

12. Fill each tortilla with shredded brisket and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

13. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining cheese.

14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

15. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side.

Notes:

• For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the filling or use a hot enchilada sauce.
• Leftover brisket can be used to make tacos, sandwiches, or nachos.
• These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
