Shredded Beef Tacos
Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless beef chuck roast, 2" thick
- 2 Tbsp. veg. oil
- 3/4 c. minced green or possibly red sweet pepper - (1 medium)
- 1/2 c. minced onion - (1 medium)
- 2 x garlic cloves - (to 3) chopped
- 2 x dry chipotle peppers seeded, minced
- (or possibly 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, minced)
- 1 Tbsp. chili pwdr
- 3/4 c. beef broth
- 8 x flour tortillas - (8" dia)
- Guacamole
- Dairy lowfat sour cream
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Shredded lettuce
Directions
- Trim any visible fat from the meat. Set aside.
- In a 4- or possibly 6-qt pressure cooker heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil over medium heat. Cook meat till brown on all sides. Add in more oil, if needed. Remove the meat and set aside. Drain off fat.
- Place the rack in the pressure cooker. Return the meat to cooker and add in the sweet pepper, onion, garlic, chipotle or possibly jalapeno peppers, chili pwdr, and beef broth.
- Lock lid in place. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe (if you have a first-generation cooker). Over high heat, bring cooker up to pressure. Reduce heat just sufficient to maintain pressure and pressure regulator rocks gently; cook for 35 min.
- Allow pressure to come down naturally. Carefully remove lid. Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package directions.
- Transfer meat to a cutting board. Using the tines of two forks, pull the meat across the grain to create shreds. With a slotted spoon remove the vegetables to a serving platter. Combine with meat.
- On each tortilla spoon about 1/2 c. of the meat mix. If you like, top with guacamole, lowfat sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. Roll up tortillas.
- This recipe yields 8 main-dish servings (4 c. meat mix).
- Comments: Use any leftover meat in a taco salad. Arrange the meat, cheese, and guacamole on a bed of leaf lettuce. Add in some salsa for a quick salad dressing and serve with corn chips.
