Method

Barbacoa Beef Preparation

Prepare the Beef

In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and then massage this mixture into the beef chuck roast.

Cook the Beef

Place the seasoned beef in a slow cooker. Pour the beef broth over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Shred the Beef

Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking juices.

Burrito Assembly

Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the large flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assemble the Burrito

On each tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, 1 cup of barbacoa beef, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Add jalapeños if desired.

Wrap the Burrito

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Ensure it's tightly wrapped.
