Burrito Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt, pepper, and cumin. Sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 3

    Simmer with Sauce

    Return the beef to the pot, add green salsa, and enough water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 2-3 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Beef

    Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and mix it with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burritos

    Warm tortillas, fill each with shredded beef, and fold. Serve warm with additional green salsa if desired.
