Steps:
- Place roast in a large saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid. Pour in water, cover, and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium/high, and brown the roast on all sides. Once the water has boiled away, pour in the beef broth, vinegar, chili powder and 1 tablespoon of cumin. Cover tightly and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the beef falls apart when you try to pick it up. Shred the beef, using 2 forks or your fingers. Place shredded beef back into the saucepan with all the juices, and let cool to room temperature.
- In a large skillet, saute the onion until just soft, not browned. Mix in flour and green chilies. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook the flour taste out. Stir in sour cream and 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is all melted and mixed. Set aside and let cool.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil. Using tongs dip the tortillas, one at a time, into the oil for 30 seconds each side. Drain on paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread 4 tablespoons of sour cream mixture down the center of the tortilla. Top with about the same amount of beef. Roll up and place seam side down in one or two 8x11 inch baking dish. Repeat for each tortilla. Continue until you are out of the filling. Sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook and stir ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted.

- Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Trim fat from brisket. In a bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly overall sides of brisket; rub with your fingers. Place brisket in a shallow roasting pan. Top with onions; pour broth and vinegar over meat. Roast, covered, for 3 hours or until meat is fork-tender. Let meat stand in cooking liquid for 15 minutes. Remove meat. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and set aside, reserving cooking liquid. Halve meat crosswise. When meat is cool enough to handle, use forks to pull meat apart into shreds. Place shredded meat in a serving bowl. Stir onions into meat. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking liquid (1/2 to 1 cup) to moisten meat. If desired, use remaining cooking liquid to make Chile Enchilada Sauce (recipe below) To assemble: Pre-heat oven to 350F In the center of each tortillas place about 1/3 cup filling, then carefully roll up the filled tortilla. Place sauce, enchiladas, and cheese in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake enchiladas, covered, in a 350F oven about 25 minutes or until heated through. Uncover and cook another 5 minutes for browning cheese. CHILE ENCHILADA SAUCE In a bowl, combine two 10-ounce cans enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid from Shredded Chicken Filling or Shredded Beef Filling (see recipes, left) or Vi cup vegetable broth. Stir in one 4-ounce can diced green chile peppers. Spread V2 cup sauce in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Add enchiladas and top with remaining sauce.

- Brown the beef well before simmering: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
- Simmer the beef in a flavorful liquid: Beef broth, tomato sauce, or water with a packet of taco seasoning are all good options.
- Shred the beef against the grain: This will make it more tender and easier to eat.
- Season the beef to taste: Add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, or other spices to taste.
- Use the shredded beef in enchiladas, tacos, burritos, or other Mexican dishes.
Conclusion:
Shredded beef is a versatile and delicious filling for a variety of Mexican dishes. By following these tips, you can make sure that your shredded beef is flavorful, tender, and perfect for your next meal.
