— RECIPE —
BEEF FILLING
▪3-4lbs/1.5-2kg Chuck roast, cut into large chunks
▪950g/32oz stock
▪150g or 1 white onion, med-small diced
▪150g or 1 Poblano pepper
▪5-6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
▪Oil
▪Salt
▪5g or 1 3/4tsp chile powder
▪5g or 2.5tsp cumin
▪6g or 1Tbsp black pepper
▪2g or 2tsp dried oregano
▪lime
Cut roast into large chunks and salt both sides. Sear in preheated, oiled heavy bottomed pan over high heat. Flip chunks over after about 3 minutes or when the first side is becoming nicely browned. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes on side 2.
Transfer beef chunks and any pan fond into pressure cooker, add stock and cook on high for 90 minutes and allow pressure to release (another 30 min or so). Remove beef from cooker and transfer cooking liquid into a container – skim and discard as much fat as possible off of cooking liquid. Reserve liquid for later – there should be about 1qt/ltr left over.
Preheat large saute, add a few glugs of oil, then diced onions, poblano, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. When veg is softened, add in cooked beef and break down slightly to shred, leaving plenty of chunks. When beef has cooked for a few minutes and has begun to take on color, add chile powder, cumin, black pepper, oregano, and the juice from a lime. Stir and allow species to bloom. Fry for about another minute or so. Season with a pinch of salt and remove from heat.

ENCHILADA ROJA (RED) SAUCE
▪Olive oil
▪75g or 2/3c chile powder
▪50g or 1/2c smoked paprika (sweet works too)
▪1qt/ltr beef cooking liquid (from recipe above)
▪450g or 2 8oz cans tomato sauce
▪15g or 1 1/4Tbsp brown sugar
▪25g or 1 3/4Tbsp apple cider vinegar
▪5g or 3/4tsp salt
Preheat large heavy bottomed pot over medium. Add a few glugs of olive oil followed by chile powder and paprika. Stir & allow to toast until fragrant. Add ⅓ of the beef cooking liquid. Stir. Add in another third of the liquid and stir again. Once incorporated, add in most of the rest of your liquid. Save a splash in case you need to thin the sauce later. Once the liquid is incorporated & smooth, add in tomato paste, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and salt. Stir & bring to a simmer then reduce heat to med-low & cook to reduce sauce for 15-20 minutes. When ready, it should have reduced by about 30%. Remove from heat and taste for seasoning.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER & BAKING
▪350g/12oz medium-sharp cheddar, grated
▪350g/12oz pepperjack, grated
▪12 corn tortillas (+ a few extras just in case)
Grate and mix cheeses together. Wet each tortilla then heat in a skillet over medium until soft and pliable. Place warmed tortillas in a tortilla warmer (or thick container with lid to trap steam if you don’t have one) until you’re ready to assemble the enchiladas.
Place warmed tortillas into sauce to coat both sides then transfer to a bowl, shaking off excess sauce as you go. When all tortillas are coated
Spread enough roja sauce into a 9”x13”/22x33cm baking pan to lightly coat the bottom (about ¾-1c). Place 3-4oz of the meat in a line on a sauced tortilla followed by a pinch of the cheese blend. Roll tightly then place in one corner of the baking dish, seam side down. Continue filling and rolling the remaining 11 tortillas, placing each snugly against the last. If you’re using a 9”x13” pan, the last 4 can be placed perpendicular to the first 8 as shown in video @10:14.
Finish by spreading 5-6 more spoonfuls of the sauce over the enchiladas and top with cheese. Bake at 375F/190C oven for about 20 minutes until cheese is well melted.
Plate up and top with a drizzle of lime crema.

Like I told somebody else this is America not Europe stopping using the metric system to talk about measurements us tablespoon teaspoons or cups not milligrams and that other metric crap
This is my Christmas dinner this year. My brother and I spent a lot of our lives in Arizona, and this recipe is adaptable, achievable, and so far (have tasted the components, it's not baked yet). Everything is wonderful.
Nosotras son enchiladas!
Dang it man, guess I'm making these tonight. I don't like corn tortillas though so I'm gonna use those "raw" flour ones that you gotta cook. Love how chewy they are.
How can you make these much less spicy? Can I substitute 3/4 of chilies with sweet paprika?
You are the real deal! 👏
We're Americans here. Give the damn measurements in American. Not metric
bro 90 minutes in that pot is so overkill its not even funny. you can literally get that shred able tender ass chuck in 15 natural release.
…the title being "Very Good Tasting Enchiladas" really makes me feel skeptical. Like this is a trick.
Bro! Can I come take cooking lessons from you!? Everything you make looks amazing!
Tried this one tonight and wasn't thrilled. The meat came out great. I don't have a pressure cooker, so I used our slow cooker instead. Took about 5-6 hours to get to the right doneness where the meat was ready to shred. Actually did that a day ahead, then stashed the meat and cooking liquid in the fridge for the next day. With the onion and pepper, it was great just on it's own. But the sauce came out pretty nasty. It was OK as I made up the enchiladas for the oven, but it was just awful coming out. Ate a few bites and ended up tossing it. At least there was some meat filling left over. Will use that for a burrito lunch in the next day or two. The star, though is that lime sour cream. That's delicious. I skipped the milk to make it a bit thicker, and ended up putting the juice from the whole lime in it. Maybe my limes were on the small side, but half of the lime just wasn't enough. I'll probably try again, but I'll use a different enchilada sauce.
Growing up and living on the US Mex. Border I can affirm this is far from traditional Mexican enchiladas. Perhaps you could research the true traditional recipe and then share that on your channel. Sorry but I can’t call these enchiladas …
Please please specify that that is tex- mex and not Mexican because we would never use yellow American cheese on those enchiladas
Not even close to real red beef enchiladas, no paprika, no sugar, only red chile from Hatch New Mexico, shape cheddar yes, corn tortillas should be fried in oil 3 seconds each side and the best enchilada are NOT ROLLED, they are flat and stacked, onions should be raw where's the lettuce, where's the tomato, where's the fried egg on top baked in the oven, these are far to goopy from some raised on real New Mexican Enchilada also no lime no limon and ya it will taste like taco bellno lime!! No sour cream sounds like California these are not real.
Enchiladas are very simple to make. I don’t know what you’re trying to complicate a simplistic food like enchiladas all you need is New Mexico chili , cheese, corn tortilla and whatever you want to fill it with if you want too
This guy is trying to gentrify enchiladas 😅
I always add finely diced Texas sweet onions into the cheese on top. You can barely tell they're there but they're magical.
Flavor > tradition. I like the way you cook sir!
You’re probably the only skinny chef that I trust
Jesus these look fucking awesome
No no1 choice of foof.2nd gotta be lasagne
Proper tex-mex style enchiladas. I wonder if it might not be an improvement to create a chili sauce (like you do for a pot of chili!) using dried peppers and some stock in a blender, rather than using powdered spices. But that's an extra step and more stuff to clean, and by toasting the spices you add some of that flavor back that's often otherwise missing in bottled grocery store spices.
Probably some types that'll gnash their teeth and engage in a bunch of caterwauling over how it's "not authentic," but to hell with em. It looks pretty damn good to me!
I must stop watching these videos before going to bed
Now, as usual, i'm hungry as f
Brian, when you say add chile powder are you using a generic spice blend chili powder or specific chili variants like ancho, chipotle..etc?
removes fat from stock – throws in garbage can. gets oil from bottle… cooks meat in it.
Mexican enchiladas are not. Gringo texmex enchiladas is the correct description.
To little garlic
You now are the new king of enchiladas
Made this exactly using shredded pork and pork stock. They were the best! Thanks Brian!
Easy to make “5 hours later”…..LMAO
Thanks!
