Serves 4-6
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
4 cups Red chile tomato enchilada sauce (recipe follows)
4 cups cooked shredded brisket (recipe follows)
2 yellow onions, caramelized
½ cup goat cheese
½ cup cotija cheese
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup cilantro
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup pepitas
Limes
Sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine brisket with 1 cup chile sauce, 1 cup reserved cooking liquid, caramelized onions, goat cheese, and cotija cheese. Place tortillas on baking sheets and spray both sides with cooking spray. Bake in oven until tortillas are soft and pliable, about 2-4 minutes. Adjust oven temperature to 375 degrees. Spread ¾ cup chile sauce on the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. One at a time, dip warm tortillas in chile sauce, then spread 1/3 cup filling on each, roll tightly, and place seam side down in baking dish. Evenly spread remaining sauce over top of enchiladas, sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake enchiladas until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro, green onions, and pepitas. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream. And then of course, eat and enjoy!

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
