Barbacoa Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large pieces.

  2. 2

    Blend Marinade

    In a blender, combine dark beer, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Beef

    Place the beef pieces in a large bowl or resealable bag and pour the marinade over the beef. Make sure the beef is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated beef in a large Dutch oven and add a chopped red onion on top. Cover and cook in the oven for about 4 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Remove the beef from the oven and let it cool slightly before shredding it with two forks.

  6. 6

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable.

  7. 7

    Assemble Tacos

    Fill each warm tortilla with shredded barbacoa, top with fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
