Carne Asada Enchiladas image

This recipe takes time but is pretty easy to put together and serve. A dish full of flavor, color, and texture and as close to Mexican as I know how to get. I served this family-style, letting everyone choose their own toppings of Greek yogurt, chipotle sauce, and guacamole. Refried beans and a fresh-from-the-garden tossed salad makes this one delicious and complete meal.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds beef chuck steaks
chili powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 green onions, chopped, divided
4 cloves garlic, peeled
½ cup tequila
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 kiwi, peeled
3 tablespoons chipotle cooking sauce (such as Herdez®)
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 (12 ounce) bottle pasilla chile cooking sauce (such as Herdez®)
1 (12 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Season chuck steaks on both sides with chili powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chuck steaks in the hot oil in batches until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.
  • Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add 2 green onions and garlic; cook and stir until browned but not burnt, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; chop garlic coarsely and return to the skillet.
  • Whisk tequila, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, and ginger together in a bowl. Mash in kiwi using a fork. Stir in green onion-garlic mixture and chipotle sauce. Pour over chuck steaks in the slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low until steaks are fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours.
  • Transfer chuck steaks to a cutting board; shred with 2 forks. Mix in 2 raw green onions.
  • Pour cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the skillet. Simmer over medium heat until reduced and thickened into a sauce, about 10 minutes. Stir in shredded steak; simmer until most of the sauce is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1/4 of the pasilla chile sauce.
  • Spoon shredded steak mixture into tortillas. Wrap up and place seam-side down, close together, in the baking dish. Pour remaining pasilla chile sauce over tortillas. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and chives on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.

I'm not usually a fan of enchiladas, but these were really good! The filling was flavorful and the enchilada sauce was creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making these again.

The enchiladas were good, but they were a little dry. I think I would add some more liquid to the filling next time, maybe some tomato sauce or broth.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would probably use a milder salsa next time.

I loved the flavor of these enchiladas, but they were a little too messy to eat. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.
