Red Chile Shredded Beef Enchiladas are classic comfort food at its best—warm, hearty, and deeply satisfying. Soft corn tortillas are wrapped around tender shredded beef, then generously smothered in a bold red chile sauce and baked until bubbly and irresistible. Every bite delivers rich flavor with just the right amount of heat.
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. Using already-cooked shredded beef makes preparation easy, while the red chile enchilada sauce brings depth, smokiness, and traditional Mexican character. As the enchiladas bake, the tortillas soak up the sauce, becoming tender without falling apart.
A blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese melts perfectly over the top, creating that golden, gooey finish everyone loves. The optional diced onion adds a subtle bite, while fresh cilantro at the end brightens the entire dish.
