POT ROAST TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the chuck roast on all sides with a fair amount of salt. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a tight-fitting cover, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown it on all sides, taking the time to get a nice crust on the outside. Remove the roast and set aside.
• Add the onions and garlic cloves to the pot and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the ancho powder, cumin and cayenne. Add the crushed tomatoes and the bay leaves, and stir. Return the roast to the pot and add the cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with lid, place in the oven, and cook until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours.
• Carefully transfer the meat to a cutting board and shred with a knife. Pour the liquid into a blender and puree. Return the shredded meat to the pot, add the pureed liquid, and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• To assemble: Lay some shredded beef on a tortilla, and top with guacamole and salsa. Garnish with cilantro leaves, sliced radishes and cotija cheese.
• Pulse the tomatoes, garlic, red onions, serrano, lime juice, cilantro and some salt and pepper in a food processor. The mixture should be chunky. Add some reserved tomato juice if the salsa is too thick. Drizzle the salsa with olive oil, then cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.

ROAST PORK TACOS (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• PORK:.
• Using a sharp knife, make 6 incisions in the pork roast.
• Stuff the garlic cloves in the incisions and pour the lime juice over the pork. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Season pork with Southwest Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Rub with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place in a crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until tender.
• Remove from crock pot and cool for 30 minutes.
• Using 2 forks, pull the meat off the bones into small pieces and set aside.
• ROASTING PEPPERS:.
• Place the poblano and red pepper over a direct flame and roast, turning occasionally with tongs, until the skin is charred and blistered all over.
• Transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes.
• Remove the peppers and, when cool enough to handle, carefully remove the charred skin by rubbing with your fingers.
• Remove the stems and any seeds and, if necessary, rinse briefly under cool running water to remove any remaining skin.
• Slice the peppers into thin strips and place in a small bowl and set aside at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
• TO ROAST ONIONS:.
• Place the onion slices on a flat surface and insert 1 or 2 toothpicks into the concentric rings in order to hold the rings together on the grill.
• Brush the slices on both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the onion slices on medium-hot grill.
• Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the edges and soft, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove the toothpicks from the onion slices and add the onions to the peppers, separating the onion rings with your fingers; tossing to combine.
• The heat from the hot onion slices will warm the poblanos.
• Add 1 tablespoons of lime juice and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Set aside until ready to serve the tacos.
• TO SERVE:.
• Place some the roasted pork in each tortilla.
• Top with onion/pepper mixture.
• Serve with sauce of your choice.
• Top with grated cheese and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

SLOW-ROASTED PORK FOR TACOS

Steps:

• Sliver 4 cloves of the garlic and use a thin-bladed knife to poke holes all over the pork; insert garlic slivers in holes.
• Combine the peppercorns, oregano, cumin, cinnamon and coriander in a small skillet and turn the heat to medium. Toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Combine the toasted spices, salt and remaining garlic in the container of a small food processor or blender. Turn on the machine and gradually add the orange and lemon juice until you have a smooth purée. Rub all over the pork; let the pork sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• At least 2 hours before you plan to eat, turn the oven to 300 degrees or prepare a charcoal or gas grill to cook over low indirect heat. Put the pork in a roasting pan in the oven or directly on the grill rack; if you're grilling, cover the grill. Cook, checking occasionally and basting with the pan juices if you're roasting (add water to bottom of pan if mixture dries out), until pork is brown and very, very tender, at least 2 hours. Shred or slice pork and use hot or at room temperature (pork can be refrigerated for up to 2 days).
