Directions

1. Pat the 2.5 lb chuck roast dry, coat lightly with olive oil, and season generously on all sides with the packet of beef fajita seasoning.
2. Heat a large, greased skillet over medium heat. Sear the roast on all sides for 2-4 minutes per side until a nice crust forms. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Reduce the heat. In the same pan, add the diced white onion and 4 oz can of diced green chiles. Sauté for a few minutes, using the moisture to deglaze the pan. Stir in the 15 oz jar of red enchilada sauce and 2-2.5 cups of beef bone broth.
4. Return the seared chuck roast to the pan. Bring the liquid to a slow simmer, cover with a lid, and cook for 2.5 to 3.5 hours until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds. Once done, carefully shred the beef in the pan.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread a layer of the sauce in the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish.
6. Fill your tortillas with shredded beef and shredded Mexican cheese. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with more cheese.
7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Plate the enchiladas and add desired toppings: low-fat sour cream, diced avocado, and fresh chopped cilantro.
