TACO FILLING

Steps:

• In a large skillet (with available lid), brown the meats with the next 10 ingredients.
• Make sure the meat is browned really well.
• Add the Rotel tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce to simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and meat becomes very tender.
• I put a lid half on for awhile and then take it off towards the end to help reduce the remaining liquid.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro.
• Serve in crispy taco shells, or warmed flour tortillas.
• We top our tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, chopped black olives, sliced pickled jalepenos, salsa, and cheddar cheese.
• This is a pretty basic recipe and if I have any left over, I'll dump a cup of cooked rice in and make untraditional stuffed cabbage rolls or even stuffed poblano peppers.
• It's a jumping off point so you can play around with it and the spices to tailor it to your preference.

BEEF MACHACA (TACO FILLING)

Steps:

• For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl then whisk them to form an emulsion. Add the beef making sure every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate.
• Marinate the beef overnight in a bowl in the refrigerator. Before preparing, drain thoroughly and allow meat to come up to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• In a large soup pot, heat a few tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear the beef a few pieces at a time to develop a rich brown color on all sides as well as on the bottom of the pan. Do this in several batches if the pot is too crowded.
• When all the beef is browned nicely and removed from the pan, add the onions, peppers, and garlic to the hot pan. Sauté for a few minutes then add the remaining ingredients to the pan along with the beef. Bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer slowly for about 2 hours. The meat should be very tender and should easily fall apart when pricked with a fork.
• Remove from heat, remove meat to a cutting board and shred with a pair of forks. Return to the pot and bring to a simmer, uncovered. Reduce the liquid until very thick, almost dry. At this point, adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and whatever additional heat you want to add if any.
• Serve with tortillas, cheese, salsa, lettuce and guacamole for a great beef taco. Portion and freeze the remaining machaca in zip lock bags for later use.
