This was part of
our Mexican food feast on New Year's Eve. It takes a little planning but
very easy. You know IT Guy and his Mexican food....this was a huge
success!!

Here's SOME of the stuff you need.
Place the roast, onion, chilies and garlic in the crock pot.
Pour the beef stock over the whole she-bang and give it a stir.
Cook on high for 6 - 8 hours until the roast is fall apart tender. Shred it up and remove all fat.
Now..here's the rest of the stuff. Grated cheese, corn tortillas, enchilada sauce and the cooked, shredded beef.
Start rolling the enchiladas. Little bit of meat, little bit of cheese.
Then
pour the sauce over the whole thing, sprinkle with more cheese and bake
it up. I don't have a picture of the end result because my family is a
bunch of vultures and they were hungry!!
