Barbacoa Tacos

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe plum tomatoes
  • 1 small white onion, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, cut into 6-equal sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • corn tortillas, warmed
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • ½ bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high. Arrange whole tomatoes, onions (cut-side down), and garlic in the dry skillet in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides, about 6 minutes for the garlic and about 12 minutes for the onions and tomatoes.
  2. Transfer charred vegetables to a blender and add chipotle peppers. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper together in a small bowl; season beef evenly with salt mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer browned beef to a large plate.
  5. Pour water into the Dutch oven and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in onion-tomato mixture, brown sugar, oregano, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer.
  6. Nestle beef back into pot and cover. Cook, stirring and re-nestling beef occasionally (about every 20 to 30 minutes), until beef is tender and pulls easily apart with a fork, 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours and 15 minutes. Remove bay leaves and discard.
  7. Remove beef from Dutch oven, place on cutting board; shred beef using 2 forks.
  8. Return beef to the Dutch oven, add lime juice, and stir to combine.
  9. Serve in corn tortillas with avocado, radishes, and cilantro.
