Red Chili Sauce (recipe) 1‑1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion 3/4 cup beef broth 1/4 cup raisins 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon anise seeds, crushed 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese 3/4 cup sour cream 1/3 cup sliced pitted black olives Basil sprig and tomato wedge for garnish

PREPARATION:

  1. Prepare Red Chili Sauce.
  2. Sprinkle beef with salt. Brown beef in batches in hot oil in large skillet over medium-high heat 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion; cook and stir 4 minutes or until onion is soft. Return beef to skillet. Stir in broth, raisins, garlic, cloves, anise seeds and 1/4 cup Red Chili Sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 1-1/2 to 2 hours until beef is very tender. Remove from heat. Using 2 forks, pull beef into coarse shreds in skillet. *

    *Beef mixture can be frozen at this point. Store in resealable plastic freezer bags. Thaw in refrigerator before proceeding as directed.

  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat remaining Red Chili Sauce in medium skillet over medium heat until hot; remove from heat.

Repeat with remaining tortillas, sauce and meat filling. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese over top.
