Shredded Beef Enchiladas

A delishous enchilada recipe that takes a while to make, but well worth it. We usually make 2 platters of this, 1 plain enchilada and 1 "spicy". To split the recipe, after adding the diced chilis and taco seasoning, remove half the meat and doctor the rest up. 16 tortillas will fill a 9x13 Show more
