Beef Birria

White Bean Hummus

Green Apple Salad

Method

Beef Birria

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chiles

    Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. In a dry skillet, toast the chiles over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the toasted chiles, garlic cloves, onion, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 cup of beef broth and blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then brown it on all sides for about 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Pour the blended sauce over the browned beef, then add the remaining beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine.

White Bean Hummus

  1. 6

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned white beans (drained), tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  2. 7

    Adjust Consistency

    With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil and water until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.

Green Apple Salad

  1. 8

    Prepare the Salad Ingredients

    Core and thinly slice the green apples. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, sliced green apples, walnuts, and feta cheese.

  2. 9

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt to taste.

  3. 10

    Toss the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
