Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (3 pound) beef roast
3 cups tequila
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
6 cloves garlic, smashed and diced
3 cups uncooked rice
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2 (6 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, divided

2 (12 fluid ounce) cans mild enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Combine beef roast, tequila, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until tender, 12 to 18 hours.

Tips:

  • To save time, use store-bought enchilada sauce. However, if you prefer a more flavorful sauce, consider making your own using the recipe provided in the article.
  • For a cheesy enchilada, use a blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. You could also add some crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese for an extra kick of flavor.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked shredded chicken or beef. Just be sure to heat it through before assembling the enchiladas.
  • To make the enchiladas ahead of time, assemble them and then cover them tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw the enchiladas in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Then, bake according to the directions in the recipe.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.
