Ingredients

  • 1 (3 pound) beef roast
  • 3 cups tequila
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed and diced
  • 3 cups uncooked rice
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, divided
  • 4 (7.75 ounce) cans spicy enchilada sauce
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans mild enchilada sauce
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 12 (12 inch) flour tortillas, or more as needed

Directions

Step 1
Combine beef roast, tequila, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until tender, 12 to 18 hours.

Step 2
Shred beef using 2 forks; let it cool, about 30 minutes. Transfer shredded beef to a plate using a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid in the slow cooker.

Step 3
Pour reserved cooking liquid into a large pot; stir in rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 5
Mix black beans, refried beans, and 1 can green chile peppers together in a bowl.

Step 6
Mix spicy enchilada sauce, mild enchilada sauce, and tomato paste together in a bowl until smooth. Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a deep baking dish.

Step 7
Spoon 1/4 cup bean mixture, 1/4 cup rice, 1/2 cup shredded beef, 1 tablespoon sauce, and 2 tablespoons Mexican cheese blend over 1 tortilla. Roll up tortilla and place seam side-down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients until baking pan is full.

Step 8
Cover tortillas with a thick layer of sauce and remaining cheese. Spread remaining 1 can green chile peppers over cheese.

Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubby and golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
