INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING
CARNE MACHACA
SAUCE
ENCHILADAS
This recipe was in Chile Pepper a few yrs. ago. It's good! I think I made
some changes in this version from the original.
Filling: Place ingredients in pan and cover with water and simmer for an
hour and a half or until the meat starts to fall apart. Remove the beef,
strain the broth, and save for the sauce. Allow the meat to cool and shred
the meat by using 2 forks or your fingers.
SAUCE: Combine flour and 3 Tbsp. oil to make a roux. Saute the mixture,
stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes. Set aside. Saute the onions and
garlic in remaining oil. Stir in chiles, cumin, tomatoes, and broth. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the roux and
simmer fir a few minutes to thicken. NOTE: I add 2 Tbsp. hot chili powder
THE ENCHILADAS: Fry tortillas briefly in hot oil to soften. Drain on paper
towels. To assemble: For each enchilada stack, place a little sauce on
bottom of casserole dish, place a tortilla on top, then the beef, some
cheese and onion, then some sauce. Repeat the procedure for 3 more layers
and finish with a tortilla. Pour the sauce over the top. Bake at 350 for 15
minutes. Serve with lettuce and chopped tomatoes. May be topped with a
fried egg if desired.
