Mexican Shredded Beef

[chilerelleno]

A nice Chuckie heavily rubbed with a fiery Mexican spice blend, heavy on the Arbol chile.
Smoked at 225° for four hours.

Then I added two Chipotle chiles, a tablespoon plus of Adobo sauce and 1/4c of salsa casera to 1c of beef broth.
Poured this over the chuck and braised four hours till tender.

Dipped tortillas in the braising liquid and cooked them before piling on some delicious shredded beef.

With all the flavorfulness of the chuck and it's aggressive spicing no toppings were needed.
Oh sure, some guacamole would work nicely, but I ain't got time for that at 0200am.

Sunday brunch tomorrow will be Machacado con huevos.
Shredded beef cooked with scrambled eggs.

Now that has to be good! That breakfast sounds like it would be perfect for a chilly morning like I'm having here today.

That is very nice and love the dip the shells in the broth before the fry. Just a little extra flavour burst.

And what time is brunch ?? asking for a friend

Yes'sir, nothing like a substantial hot breakfast on a cold morning.

Missed pics earlier of the Machacado.
Here is one from a past thread.

So here are Burrito pics from dinner.

Thanks!
Yep, a lot like Birria, you could even call it Birria, close enough.
What is Birria? Simply Mexican style Pot Roast.

Differences between mine and authentic are primarily the chiles and spices used, and that it's smoked instead of seared,
Traditional is Guajillo and Ancho chiles with cinnamon and cloves to go with the more standard spices.
I used Arbol, Chipotle and Adobo sauce, and no cinnamon or cloves.

Man that's some killer flavors for sure. I'm going to have to try that egg dish too
