Easy Shredded Beef Enchiladas

Did you know it’s Beef Month and so these Easy Shredded Beef Enchiladas fit perfectly!  We are lucky enough to be able to purchase our beef from friends, who are farmers! We purchase it a half at a time (which means we get a half of a cow processed at a local locker) and our favorite locker is Lewright Meats in Eagle Grove, IA!  This also means that we can have cuts of meats that we don’t eat as often as others!  Ground beef goes REALLY fast in our house, steaks are close behind.  Roasts…slowly bring up the tail end.

So, I’ve been hunting for recipes to use with roast beef.  Last month I introduced Shredded Beef Tostadas!  Well, I have good news and bad news The good is that  I thought they were fantastic and the shredded beef that I concocted was melt in your mouth good.  The bad news is that T thought the tostadas were too messy and hard to eat!  I thought to myself…how can I use this mexi-beef in another dish?  So, without further adieu…

I’m obsessed with these Shredded Beef Tostadas.

A couple of weeks ago I asked some of my blogging friends for recipes using roasts. You see, we get beef a half a cow at a time from farmers that we know well. We have it taken directly from their farm to our favorite locker (Lewright Meats in Eagle Grove, Iowa) and then it all comes home and fits (almost perfectly) in our upright freezer!  For some reason we seem to have a lot of “extra” roasts, so I’ve been trying different things from Pepsi Roast (it was pretty tasty) to other recipes that were not so much! (That one with the red wine, gak!)

Anyway, Jenny from In the Kitchen With Jenny was kind enough to share her Tostada recipe with me!  (You can find her recipe HERE!)  Now, mine is not hers!  Hers inspired mine, but I will admit that I don’t keep a lot of spices in the house and didn’t have the majority of what she used to make hers, so I just went with the general idea and came up with my version of Shredded Beef Tostadas.
