Pulled Beef Tacos, a classic Mexican dish, is renowned for its unique flavor and rich texture. This dish features slow-cooked, shredded beef as its main ingredient, paired with tortillas and various vegetables and sauces to create a layered and flavorful meal. Each bite offers the tenderness and juiciness of the beef along with the crispiness of the taco shell, making it a staple of Mexican cuisine.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Prepare Beef: Cut beef shoulder or beef tenderloin into large chunks and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. Cook Beef: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on both sides until golden brown. Add chopped onion and garlic, stir-fry until the onion softens. Add chili powder, paprika (if using), tomato paste, and enough beef broth or beer to cover the beef. Simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded.

  3. Prepare Tacos: While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven to an appropriate temperature. Place corn tortillas on a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden and crispy.

  4. Prepare Toppings: Chop vegetables such as lettuce and tomato into bite-sized pieces. Slice or mash avocado for topping.

  5. Assemble Tacos: Shred the cooked beef with your hands and place it on the baked corn tortillas. Add toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cheese. Drizzle with your favorite sauce (such as sour cream, chili sauce, etc.).

  6. Serve: Roll or fold the tacos into your preferred shape and enjoy this delicious Pulled Beef Tacos.
