BRISKET ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Generously coat the brisket with salt and pepper. I like to quickly sear the brisket before I add it to the slow cooker, this adds extra flavor. You could opt to skip this step and just put the brisket, garlic, and onions in the slow cooker immediately. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the brisket and brown both sides. This will take about 4 minutes per side. Place the brisket in the slow cooker. Next, I like to quickly saute the onions and garlic in the pan drippings. This is another way to add some extra flavor. Add the garlic and onion to the pan drippings, season with salt and pepper, and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onions are soft. Pour this mixture over the brisket. Pour the beef broth and 1 cup of the red chile sauce over the brisket. You want the brisket to be just submerged in the liquid. Add more beef broth if necessary. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. After 6 hours, remove the brisket from the slow cooker. You can opt to store it in the fridge for later or to prepare the enchiladas right away. Pour all of the sauce and onions into a container. Let the fat come to the top off the sauce and then skim it off the top and discard it. Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices and then shred them. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions from the sauce and add them to the shredded meat. Then add enough of the sauce back to the meat so that it is slathered in the sauce but not soupy. Next, you want to assemble the enchiladas. Mix the pinto beans and refried beans together. Gather a large casserole dish (or two dishes), the brisket, the tortillas, the beans, the cheese, and the chile sauces. If you are using corn tortillas, there is a trick: you want to warm them so that they are pliable. You can heat them over a gas burner or in the microwave. Pour just enough chile sauce in the bottom of the dish to lightly coat the bottom (you can use either the red or the green sauce). One by one, roll up the tortillas with about 1/2 cup of the brisket and about 1/4 cup of the beans. Roll the tortillas and place them in the casserole dish with the seam facing down. Once all of the enchiladas are rolled, spread the red chile sauce over half of the enchiladas, and the green sauce over the other half. Do this so that each enchilada is topped with half red sauce and half green sauce. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake the enchiladas for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Keep them covered for the first 30 minutes, then remove the lid or foil so that the cheese will lightly brown. Garnish with fresh cherry tomatoes and green onion and serve with sour cream on the side.
