Tender, flavorful, and worth the wait. These slow simmered beef tacos are the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table. Cookstix Chili Cumin seasoning gives the beef a rich, smoky flavor while fresh toppings and creamy Monterey Jack cheese add the perfect finishing touch. Pile everything onto warm corn tortillas and dinner is served.
Cook time: 3-4 hours Prep time: 15 minutes Servings: 6 servings
- Pat dry the roast and season with Cookstix Chill Cumin.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large heavy based pot over medium high heat. Add the beef (in batches if necessary) and brown well on all sides.
- Add water to the pot, making sure it covers the meat, and scrape the bottom so the brown bits mix into the liquid. Let water reach a rapid boil.
- Once boiling, give the pot a quick stir then turn the heat down until the water is gently bubbling. Cover with the lid and let it simmer for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Note: if you would prefer to use a slow cooker, set on low for 8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours.
- While beef is cooking, prepare your toppings. Dice an onion, chop cilantro and shred the block of Monterey Jack Cheese.
- Once beef is tender, remove from the liquid and shred with two forks.
- Once shredded, return the meat back to the liquid so it soaks up all that extra flavor.
- Serve the beef on warmed corn tortillas. Top with salsa, cheese, onion, cilantro and sour cream.
