SHREDDED BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• In the crockpot, mix taco seasoning, onion and enough water to cover your roast- then add your roast and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 to 10 hours. Once the meat is done, use a fork to shred it and place back into the crockpot.
• For the garnish mix the radishes, green onions and cilantro in a container with lid and shake to mix thoroughly. You can mix this up right before meal time or make it early and just chill until you are ready to serve.
• The tortillas should be done close to meal time. Using a small fry pan, heat oil on a medium high heat until hot. Fry the tortillas one at a time because they cook quickly. Using tongs place tortilla in the oil on one side for 1 to 2 seconds then flip it over and fold in half- use the tongs to gently spread the shell open. Fry that side for about 15 seconds and then flip the shell over and fry for about 15 seconds. Place the shell on a plate with a couple of paper towels and salt lightly while still hot.
• Use a slotted spoon to put meat into the shells and then top with the garnish and other toppings to your taste- cheese, tomato, salsa, jalepenos, etc. Enjoy!

MEXICAN POT ROAST TACOS

Steps:

• Season all sides of the beef with a fair amount of salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, or other heavy pot that has a tight cover, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and the beef to the pot, browning the meat on all sides, taking the time to get a nice crust on the outside. Add the onion and allow to lightly brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, plus 1 tomato can of water, spices, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer with a lid for 3 hours until the meat is fork tender. Let meat cool in the liquid. Shred meat and set aside.
• Heat a large pot of oil over medium heat. When oil reaches 350 degrees F, fry the corn tortillas 1 at a time. Place the tortilla in the oil and wait about 30 seconds. Then use the handle of a wooden spoon to press down into the center of the tortilla and fold it in the middle. Hold down for a few seconds waiting for the tortilla to form into taco shell and then drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
• To make salsa, pulse all the ingredients, except the tomato juice, in a food processor. Add the reserved tomato juice if the salsa is too thick. Drizzle salsa with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap and set aside, allowing the flavors to marry.
• To assemble the tacos:
• Lay some shredded cabbage as a base. Top with some shredded beef. Serve alongside Guacamole and salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
• Halve and pit the avocados. With a tablespoon, scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados using either a fork or potato masher, leaving them still a bit chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together. Drizzle with a little olive oil, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and give it 1 final mix with a fork.
• Lay a piece of plastic wrap tight on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

• Sear beef: In a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add meat (in batches if necessary) and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add more oil if necessary if browning meat in batches. Remove to a plate.
• Sauté vegetables: As soon as the pot is now empty, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil, followed by the onions. Season the onions with a pinch of pepper and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and the remaining seasoning blend. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds before it becomes fragrant. Then add the tomato paste and chopped chipotles. Stir constantly until the paste is caramelized, about 1-2 minutes.

• Cover + cook: Bring the contents to a simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer covered for 3 - 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat becomes tender and falls apart. You should stir the beef every hour to achieve the best results.
• Shred beef: Turn off the heat in the pot. Remove the bay leaf with tongs and discard it. Shred the beef with two forks (you can also remove the beef to a cutting board, shred it, and return it to the pot.)
