This is a sponsored post for Farm Rich Smokehouse BBQ. #SmokehouseBBQ
Remember those little mini pizzas made with dry rubbed porkĀ from a week or so ago? We loved those Farm Rich Smokehouse bbq meats so much that I’ve been working on new recipes. I can’t wait to show you how to make this one! Ā It’s BBQ Brisket Enchiladas with Tex Mex Gravy. Ā If you love Tex Mex food, you’re gonna love this!
I’m born and raised in Texas, so I grew up on Tex Mex foods. Ā One of the hallmarks of great Tex Mex is enchilada chili gravy. Ā I’ve seen it called enchilada chili or enchilada gravy, too. Ā My favorite dish to order at Tex Mex restaurants is cheese enchiladas and the enchilada gravy is always so good. Ā I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
If you can make a basic roux and turn it into gravy, then you’ll have no problem whipping this up. Ā And, it’s makes enough that I usually put half of it in a mason jar for the fridge for later — which makes it totally easy to whip out a few tortillas and make some quick and easy enchiladas on the fly.
My enchilada gravy has some specialĀ ingredients that I don’t usually see listed in the typical enchilada gravy recipe. Ā Here are my 3 secret ingredients (complete recipe below):
- 1 tsp of sugar
- 1 tsp of bacon grease
- 2 tbs of Farm Rich Smokehouse pulled brisket
My favorite Tex Mex restaurant always puts brisket into their enchilada gravy, so I decided to try it this time with mine. I think it’s the major secret ingredient to making this gravy out of this world! Ā Everyone who has tried these has absolutely loved them.

To stuff the enchiladas, I used the Farm Rich Smokehouse pulled beef brisket. Ā It’s already mixed into a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce, which went wonderfully with the gravy. Ā After I make the gravy, I simply steam some corn enchiladas and heat up the brisket in the microwave. Ā Then, I add a couple spoonfuls of brisket to each enchilada, roll them up and place them seam side down in the dish. Ā Then, I pour on the enchilada gravy, top with some cheese, and cover with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for 3 minutes.
