1. Meat Matters
Choose beef chuck roast for best results. It has the right amount of marbling and becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked.
2. Don’t Skip the Sear
Searing the beef before slow-cooking adds depth of flavor. It caramelizes the exterior and enhances the final taste.
3. Spice Control
Adjust cayenne to your preferred spice level. For milder flavor, reduce to ½ tsp or skip it.
4. Tortilla Tips
Warm tortillas help them stay soft and prevent tearing. You can heat them in a dry skillet or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.
5. Storage Suggestions
This beef keeps well! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
