Heat Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Toss together beef, oil, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Brown beef pieces, stirring occasionally.
Add onion and garlic, stirring 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add prepared barbacoa sauce and bay leaf. Cover tightly and cook 2-1/2 hours or until beef is fork-tender. Remove from oven; let stand. Shred beef with two forks.

Divide beef evenly and place 1/4 cup shredded beef down centers of each tortilla. Sprinkle with tablespoon of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Pour remaining red and green enchilada sauces over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
