Ingredients
Method
- Combine all dry spices and rub generously over every surface of the chuck roast. Place in slow cooker with beef broth, smashed garlic, and chopped onion. Cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until completely fall-apart tender.
- Transfer beef to cutting board and shred with two forks discarding large pieces of fat. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the cooking liquid to keep the meat moist. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Warm corn tortillas in a dry hot skillet for 15 to 20 seconds per side until pliable. This step is not optional — cold stiff tortillas will crack when rolled.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Fill each tortilla with about 3 tablespoons of shredded beef and a little diced onion. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over all the enchiladas making sure the ends are covered. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is completely melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
- Garnish with sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes
Warming the corn tortillas is absolutely critical — they will crack and fall apart if rolled cold. Assemble the enchiladas up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate before baking. Freezes beautifully assembled or fully baked for up to 3 months.
