Cooking Steps
• Grate carrot. • Cut tomato into thin wedges. • Transfer slow-cooked beef brisket including the liquid to a bowl and shred with 2 forks. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook carrot, stirring, until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add shredded beef and cook, stirring, until heated through and liquid has evaporated, 4-5 minutes. (Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Reduce heat to medium then add Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the salt, water and brown sugar, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Set air fryer to 200ºC. Line base of air fryer basket with foil. Lay mini flour tortillas on a chopping board. Spoon beef mixture down the centre. • Roll tortillas up tightly and place, seam-side down, in the air fryer basket. Spray or brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. • Cook enchiladas (in batches) until cheese had melted and golden, 6-8 minutes. TIP: Don't have an air fryer? Preheat grill to medium-high. Drizzle a baking dish with olive oil. Prepare enchiladas as above and place, seam-side down, in a baking dish. Sprinkle over cheese and grill until cheese is golden, 8-10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season. • Divide classic Mexican beef brisket enchiladas and tomato salad between plates. Top enchiladas with light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: A crowd-pleaser with teenagers and families alike, with some finding the flavour mild and boosting it with chilli, onion, and garlic.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to prepare, though some found the enchiladas stuck badly to the foil in the air fryer, which significantly extended cooking time.
- Suggestions: To prevent sticking, consider lining the air fryer basket carefully or using a light spray of oil directly on the foil before placing the enchiladas. Some also added chilli, onion, and garlic to give the beef mixture a little more depth.
- Portions: Reviewers noted the recipe feels quite basic and simple, which suits a quick weeknight dinner but may leave some wanting more complexity.
