Beef Enchilada---(Leftover Recipe)

Here is a great new recipe I tried this week.  I made a Beef Roast in the Crock Pot this week on Wednesday.  There was a very small piece left, which I made into Beef Enchiladas.  I am constantly on a quest to repurpose leftovers into something my family will enjoy. 

These enchiladas were very fast to make and only had to bake for 30 mins.  Not bad for a weeknight meal. 

Leftover Beef Enchiladas Recipe

Servings: 6


• 1 tablespoon lite olive oil

• 1 onion, sliced

• 1 sweet red pepper, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups cooked roast beef, cubed

• 1 can enchilada sauce
• 6 flour tortillas

• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Total Time: 55 mins

1.  Saute the onion & garlic until the garlic is fragrent & the onion is soft.

2.  Add the red peppers for a minute.

3.  Remove from heat add beef and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce.

4. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the meat mixture down the middle of each tortilla.

5.  Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of cheese.

6. Fold the tortilla sides up so they overlap slightly.

7. Place them side by side, seam side down, in a 11x7 baking dish.

These turned out very good.  I would maybe add a little cheese to the beef mixture and also some red or black beans.  I served this with a side of mexican rice and corn.
