How to make Baked Shredded Beef Enchiladas Rojas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the enchilada sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt; cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken or beef broth, ensuring no lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Dip each corn tortilla briefly into the warm enchilada sauce to soften it (this helps prevent cracking).
- Place about 1/4 cup of shredded beef and a sprinkle of cheese down the center of each softened tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Once all enchiladas are rolled and arranged, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle generously with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream or Mexican crema and fresh cilantro, if desired.
