Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Add Barbacoa Beef

    Add the cooked barbacoa beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine and heat through, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, place a portion of the barbacoa beef and vegetable mixture on each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
