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:

  • Use lean ground beef: This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the enchiladas.
  • Shred the beef yourself: This will give you more control over the texture of the beef.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will add more flavor and richness to the enchiladas.
  • Don't overcook the enchiladas: They should be cooked until the cheese is melted and the beef is heated through, but not so long that the tortillas become dry and tough.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: This could include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.

Slow cooker beef enchiladas are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck party.
