Instructions
  1. In a medium size mixing bowl, add shredded beef and diced onions, mix well and set aside.
  2. In a medium size sauce pan, add the oil, flour, and chili powder. Turn to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.
  3. Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to boil for one minute, then whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmering boil it will begin to thicken slightly after about 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Add salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, mix to combine and then add about 1/4 cup of sauce to the shredded beef mixture and stir to combine. Set aside remaining sauce for enchiladas.
  5. In a small size skillet, add oil to medium-high heat. Gently add one tortilla at a time and fry to a semi soft stage. Dab each tortilla with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. As each tortilla is fried and dabbed with paper towels, stack them to keep them soft for rolling.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
  8. Lay (one at a time) fried tortilla on a flat surface, add about 2 tablespoons shredded beef mixture to the middle of the fried tortilla and top with about 1 teaspoon shredded cheese.
  9. Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking dish (seam side down). Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. (For best results, line the enchiladas into two rows of 6).
  10. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas, and then add remaining shredded cheese evenly to the top of the sauce and top with the sliced olives.
  11. Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. Serve with sour cream, optional.
Recipe Notes

Original Recipes:  https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/authentic-beef-enchiladas-523462

This was oddly bland.  Tasted a lot like onion, but that was actually about it.  I'm thinking less onion and need to infuse more chili flavor into the meat.  The shredded beef itself turned out pretty good (see Mexican Shredded Beef recipe), but all together it was just lacking.  That being said, it was fairly easy, and I think it's a good place to start, or if you aren't into or can't eat heavily spiced food it's good as is.  I'll be working on this again, I think.  (3.25.19)

Instructions
  1. Mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, oregano and red chili flakes, set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the slow cooker with the tomato paste, lime juice, and just 1-2 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Stir everything together until fully mixed.
  3. Sprinkle the rest of the spices all over the chuck roast, patting to help it stick to the meat.
  4. Place the meat on top of the onion mixture and set cook on low for 7-8 hours. Total cooking time will vary for different roasts.
  5. After meat has cooked, use two forks to shred the meat, removing any large pieces of fat or gristle as you find them. (If the meat is still too tough to shred, it needs to be cooked a little longer. Cook for an additional 30-60 minutes and check it again.) Stir to mix well with the sauce. Cover and continue to cook on low for another 30-60 minutes.
  6. Before serving stir well again to mix the meat with the sauce. Taste meat and season with more salt to taste.
  7. Alternate recipe: I actually cooked this in my Foodi! Throw everything in the Foodi/pressure cooker together. My roast was actually 15.5 oz, just over 2" thick. I hear the thickness is the important bit. I cooked it on high pressure for 45 minutes, 10 minute natural release then released it all. Turned out amazing!
Recipe Notes

Original Recipe:  https://www.foxandbriar.com/slow-cooker-mexican-shredded-beef/

This type of meat will get tender buy cooking low and slow. If it seems too tough when you think it is done, try cooking for another 30-60 minutes, then check again. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will get.

Or use a pressure cooker!  Which is what I did, and it was amazing!  Tender and flavorful, and quick!

Instructions
  1. Heat a large paella pan (or large saute pan) over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is softened and turning golden. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until it is completely mixed in and the onions are rust colored, 2- 3 minutes.
  3. Add the salt, paprika, chili flakes, turmeric and saffron, stir to incorporate.
  4. Add the rice and stir fry until the rice is completely coated with the oil and spices.
  5. Stir in the stock. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Add in the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 more minutes.
  8. Arrange the shrimp on top. You may need to press the shrimp into the rice with a spoon so that they are almost covered with the remaining liquid. Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
  9. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve.
Recipe Notes

*If you cannot find bomba rice you can use arborio. Be sure to follow package instructions for the amount of liquid, defer to package instructions if they are different than what is listed here. *If you cannot find Spanish chorizo you can use andouille sausage or Kielbasa. Be sure you get the kind that is ready to eat and not one that is raw. *I always use kosher salt. If you do not have kosher salt and are using regular table salt, reduce salt to ½ teaspoon and adjust for taste. *The bottom of the paella can burn, be sure to reduce heat to low and watch carefully to avoid burning.

Instructions
  1. Make the Dough: Pour flour and salt into a pile on a work surface or large board. Make a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into it. Start with a fork, mixing the eggs and incorporating the flour. When the mixture is too thick for stirring with a fork, start using your hands to mix everything together, gradually adding the water, as you start to knead and press the dough. Knead dough for 8-10 minutes until you get a firm, smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: While the dough rests, combine lamb, onion, parsley and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the yogurt sauce: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Store in the fridge. (Bring to room temp before serving)
  4. Fill Manti: preheat oven to 325ºF. Cut dough into fourths. (Work with one piece at a time, leaving others covered to prevent drying) Roll dough on floured surface, into a thin sheet, about 1/16 of an inch thick. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut into 1½-inch squares. (you can use the edge of a ruler as a guide) Add a small ball of meat - about the size of a chickpea - to the center of each square. Pull the four corners up around the meat and press the four side seams firmly together to seal. Set manti onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. (you'll need two baking sheets) Repeat with the rest of the dough. You should have about 120 manti. Bake manti for 15 minutes, until it just starts to brown. At this point you can let the manti cool and store it in the fridge for up to a day or in the freezer for up to two weeks. Allow to come to room temp before continuing.
  5. Prepare the tomato sauce Cook oil and tomato paste in a small pot over medium low heat, stirring constantly, for about 7 minutes, until you get a deep rich color and oil is incorporated. Add Aleppo (or paprika and red pepper) and cook, stirring for 30 seconds longer. Remove from heat. Add water and whisk to combine. Set aside. (Reheat just before serving)
  6. Prepare butter sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly for 1-3 minutes, until you see little brown flecks appear. Remove from heat. Add olive oil. Set aside.
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add manti and cook at a gentle boil 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain. Return manti to its cooking pot. Pour butter sauce over and toss to coat, reheating gently, if need be. Season with salt, to taste. Divide manti between 6 bowls. Spoon on the tomato sauce and yogurt. drizzle on any extra butter sauce. Sprinkle with spices. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Make sure the dough is really, really thin!  But it's awesome!

Also, if you don't want to deal with making all those tiny packets, you can make small meatballs with the lamb filling mixture and serve them with egg noodles, which are almost identical in ingredients with the dough. May want to thin out the caramelized tomato mixture, but with the yogurt sauce on top it's wonderful, much easier and faster!
