Beef Tinga

Red Cabbage Slaw

Cheese

Chipotle Cola BBQ Sauce

Lime Marinated Roast Scallions

Serrano Cornbread

Method

Beef Tinga

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and garlic and sauté until softened. Add the beef chuck roast, browning on all sides. Stir in chipotle peppers, diced tomatoes, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 2-3 hours until the beef is tender. Shred the beef and mix well with the sauce.

Red Cabbage Slaw

  1. 2

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine red cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Chipotle Cola BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine cola, BBQ sauce, and chipotle peppers. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes until thickened.

Lime Marinated Roast Scallions

  1. 4

    Marinate the Scallions

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Add scallions and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill and roast the scallions until charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Serrano Cornbread

  1. 5

    Bake the Cornbread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and diced serrano peppers. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, pouring the batter into a greased baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
