  • For the most flavorful enchiladas, use high-quality ingredients, including fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a flavorful tequila.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you're making a large batch of enchiladas, cook them in batches or use two slow cookers.
  • Be careful not to overcook the beef. The meat should be tender and juicy, but not dry or tough.
  • If you're using a store-bought enchilada sauce, be sure to taste it before you use it. Some sauces can be very spicy, so you may want to dilute them with a little water.
  • Top the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
