- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet beef fajita seasoning
- 1 large white onion (diced)
- 1 4 oz can diced green chiles
- 1 15 oz jar red enchilada sauce
- 2.5 cups beef bone broth
- 8-10 medium tortillas (corn, flour, or low-carb wraps)

Directions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread a layer of the sauce in the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish.
- 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.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Plate the enchiladas and add desired toppings: low-fat sour cream, diced avocado, and fresh chopped cilantro.
