CARNE MACHACA

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pan with a lid, over medium heat, sauté onions, Ro-tel, red chili flakes, Tabasco, black pepper and cumin, adding a little water only as needed to keep the mixture from sticking.

• Add tomatoes with their liquid and stir well.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes.
• There won't be much liquid at this point.

• Reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-1/2 hours or until beef is thoroughly tender.
• When beef has cooled, refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, shred beef pieces, using fingers.
• Skim and fat from cooking juices and return beef to pan.
• Reheat over low heat and serve.

CROCK POT CARNE MACHACA

Steps:

• Season roast to taste.
• Place seasoned roast in crock pot.
• Pour salsa over roast and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours, until you can shred meat with a fork.

EMILIANO'S DORADO CON CREMA

Steps:

• Cook's Note:.
• Mahi-mahi fish can be substituted by any other firm-textured fish (e.g. swordfish, tuna, etc.).
• In a blender, blend the cream and chipotle peppers. Add some of the adobo sauce to the blender depending on the desired spiciness. Set aside.
• In a wok or a nonstick frying pan over high heat, melt the butter and add the garlic and fish. Fry the fish for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chipotle cream and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Serve with tortillas.
