Shredded Beef For Tacos Food

This recipe was created for a Cinco De Mayo work potluck taco bar that was a big hit. The coffee in the recipe adds a hint of smokiness and assists with tenderizing the meat as it cooks. Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings. For less heat, omit jalapenos.

We love tacos around here, so this is a favorite. I have used the meat to make burritos and enchiladas too. This recipe also works well with pork. The house smells so good when it is cooking! Leftovers freeze great too.

This makes the best shredded beef tacos I think I've ever had. A lot of similar recipes call for beer, but I'm telling you...you GOTTA try it with the wine; it's amazing. This works just as well with pork (even super lowfat pork tenderloin). When we can afford a few extra calories in our diet (ha!), I like to stuff corn tortillas with the mixture and deep fry...they're seriously insane. I got this recipe from Allrecipes.com a few years ago and haven't made a single modification; it's perfect as is. Enjoy :-)

This is to easy and delicious. I use a pressure cooker for this, so it is very fast to prepare. The preparation and cooking time does not include about 15 minues of waiting time for meat to cool off. Do not use bottled or fresh salsa for this recipe. It requires the 8 oz canned salsa casera found in the Mexican food section of the market. I use Embassa brand. Herdez brand is almost as good. We usually use this for taquitos. This makes enough for 36 taquitos.
