Beef Enchiladas Verdes
Beef Enchiladas Verdes are a flavorful Mexican dish made with soft tortillas filled with seasoned shredded or ground beef, rolled up, and smothered in a zesty green tomatillo sauce. Baked with cheese until bubbly, they offer a delicious balance of tangy, savory, and mildly spicy flavors.
