Ingredients

beer-bacoa

  • 2.5 pounds beef top round
  • 2 onions diced
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 2 beers
  • 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey

slaw

  • 1/2 head cabbage
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • taco shells to serve

Instructions

  • Slice the top round into smaller chunks if needed. Sear the meat on high heat with some oil to brown. Remove from pot.
  • Add the onions and cook about 10 minutes. Add the jalapenos and cook another 5-7 minutes to soften the jalapenos and allow the onions to lightly brown. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add the beer and return the meat to the pan. Add in the chipotle, cumin, oregano, vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cook about 4 hours stirring often. Cover for the first 2 hours, and then remove the cover to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
  • Meanwhile, spice the cabbage thin and mix with the other ingredients. Allow to sit an hour before using.
  • When the meat is ready, mash it up with a potato masher. It should be tender enough to fall apart.
  • Cook the tortillas in a hot pan on both sides until brown spots appear.
  • Add some meat to the tortilla, and top with the slaw. Serve.
