Instructions
  1. Prepare Beef Barbacoa according to directions, using a 10 oz. can enchilada sauce in Barbacoa Recipe – you will use the rest for our Tangy Enchilada Sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of the juices from the slow cooker after the Barbacoa is cooked, also for the Enchilada Sauce.
  2. Whisk together the Tangy Enchilada Sauce ingredients. Simmer until thickened.
  3. Heat black beans with 1/4 cup Tangy Enchilada Sauce. Stir in 3 cups Beef Barbacoa.
  4. Spread 1/2 cup Tangy Enchilada Sauce on the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish (layer will be very thin). Add the enchilada filling to the center of each tortilla, top with cheese (approximately 2 cups total) roll up tightly and line (seam side down) in baking dish. Top enchiladas evenly with remaining Tangy Enchilada Sauce and remaining cheese (approximately one cup).
  5. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and center is hot. Broil until cheese is golden (optional). Top or serve with desired garnishes.
