Instructions

4. Layer 1/3 cup slow cooker barbacoa onto tortilla and top with about 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese. Roll up and put seam-side down into baking dish.
5. Repeat with remaining tortillas and beef and cheese.
6. Top enchiladas with remaining enchilada sauce and shredded cheese.
7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until bubbly.
8. While enchiladas are cooking, prep Tex-Mex side salad. 
9. When it’s time to eat, top enchiladas with sour cream and cilantro and top salad with ranch as desired.
