1 cup water
1/4 cup anejo tequila
1 clove garlic, minced
1 serrano chile, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the enchiladas:
5 (7-ounce) cans tomatillo sauce
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce

1 pound pepper Jack cheese, grated
3 (15 1/2-ounce) cans black beans
1 (7-ounce) can diced chiles
2 dozen flour tortillas

Equipment: 2 (9 by 13-inch) baking pans

Instructions

One day ahead, make
the steak: In a slow cooker, combine the steak, water, tequila, garlic, and 1 serrano
chile. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook, on low, until very tender, about
12 hours or overnight. Shred the steak.

Make the enchiladas:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the tomatillo and tomato sauces in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring,
until hot. Stir in 1/4 cup of the cheese.

Heat the black beans in another saucepan.

Combine little of the sauce, a bit of the black beans, a smidgen of the cheese, small
morsels of the steak, and hints of the diced canned chiles in each tortilla and roll,
keeping the ends untucked. Arrange the rolls in the pans and pour the remaining sauce over
the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and remaining chiles.

Cover the pans with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
