Comments
Now, follow the instructions from this Online Cookbook for "Enchiladas - Vance's Enchiladas", replacing the chicken and it's preparation, with the beef, then make "Vance's Enchilada Sauce". (Word search "enchiladas" and you will find these two recipes.) The enchiladas and sauce are a bit time consuming, but well worth it. It really tastes like the enchiladas in a fine Mexican restaurant -- but you must use this sauce - that's the key! I make these to rave reviews for my annual Mexican Fiesta held on Cinco de Mayo. The shredded beef can be used also in tacos, burritos, chili or chile rellenos.
