  • 2. Into a large glass measuring cup pour 1 (10 ounce) can green enchilada sauce, 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce and 1 C beef broth. Add 1 Tb cumin, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 Tb melted butter. Give it a nice stir to combine. Pour it over the top of the beef.

  • 5. Carefully place the meat on a plate and shred it up with two forks. Place the meat back in the crock pot and cook on high for an additional 1 hour. Serve in tortillas with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, salsa and tomatoes. You could also serve it Cafe Rio style, in a big salad with cilantro lime rice and cilantro lime dressing. You could even turn it into shredded beef enchiladas! Lots of possibilities here!
