Pressure Cooker {Venison or Beef} Enchiladas
Why did I ever buy canned enchilada sauce? And how come no one ever told me that making your own enchilada sauce was so easy? Doesn’t anyone love me? Don’t you think I had a right to know? Thank goodness for Secret Recipe Club!
This month I was assigned cook with Sara, a Midwestern girl who’s loved cooking ever since she was a little girl. With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner I’ve had Mexican on my mind. I immediately honed in on her shredded beef enchiladas and her dolce de leche chocolate bars. In the end savory won over sweet. Plus I really, really wanted to make my own enchilada sauce!
Sara’s recipe calls for 2 to 3 cups shredded beef. I didn’t have any leftover beef so I dug out some cubed venison added some enchilada sauce to them a cup of home canned stewed tomatoes, pressure cooked the meat for 10 minutes and BAM, super tender meat ready to be chopped up. If you have anyone in your family that doesn’t care for the ‘gamey’ taste of venison pressure cooking it with bold flavors makes it indistinguishable from beef…really, really! Because I used stewed tomatoes I omitted the onion that the original recipe called for.
Sara’s enchilada sauce was super simple to make, I did add a tablespoon of chili powder to it just to suit my taste. At first I thought the ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper would be too much but it was just right! I also liked her method for warming up the tortillas. Normally I heat my sauce and dip the tortilla in the sauce then stuff and roll…that makes for messy fingers. Sara simply heats her tortilla up in a warm non-stick pan, a few seconds on one side a quick flip and maybe another 5 seconds on the next side and they’re ready for rolling, no mess no fuss. Like Sara I just used my hands to flip them and saved myself a dirty spatula. Of course that isn’t for the faint of heart or the tender-ist of fingers, but I was cool with it.

I hope y’all had a lovely Easter Sunday!
