Replicating my husband’s favorite lunch from Chipolte is definitely a sure way to his heart! I have to admit, I love their food as well and searched to find a way to make it at home. I’m a big fan of letting something slow cook and having a tasty, easy meal at the end of the day. Pair this with Cilantro Lime Rice and you wont want to wait in line anymore!
I decided to try using a pressure cooker for the first time with this recipe. I’ve always been scared of them for some reason. I think it is because I’ve seen too many novices get hung up on them on Iron Chef! If they can’t do it, how am I supposed to? I borrowed my mother-in-law’s and took a deep breath and hit start. All pressure cookers vary, so if you have a pressure cooker that only has one setting, I would check the meat after 1 hour. This is what I did and it was ready to go. The recipe below calls for 2 hours, on a low setting.

Place garlic, onion, lime juice, cumin, oregano, chipotles, and ground clove in a blender.
Cut meat into 4 inch chunks. Season with salt and pepper and brown on high heat in 1 tsp oil. Add liquefied spices (what you blended), water, and bay leaves and simmer low two hours in a pressure cooker. If you are making this in a regular pot, you will have to double the cooking time to at least 4 hours or more, covered on a low flame and add more water from time to time to make sure it doesn’t dry out.
Once cooked and the meat is tender, remove the meat and place in a dish. Shred the meat with two forks and reserve the liquid for later. Discard the bay leaf. Return the shredded meat to the pot, adjust salt and cumin if needed, and add some of the reserved liquid back. Simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.

This looks really good! Did you eat with tortillas like a taco or more like you would a stew (served in bowls)? Thanks!

I eat it as a salad, as in the picture, but my husband uses it in a burrito or a taco. Really though, you could serve it over egg noodles, pasta, or mashed potatoes for that matter! In the end, it’s a great slow cooked beef!

Yum, I just made a similar shredded beef recipe this last week actually. I like the idea of adding lime juice and oregano though. yum!!

You don’t need one. You can use a Dutch oven, large pot, or a crockpot!

How long and on what setting in the crockpot?

I’m not a crockpot cooker, but in the recipe I mention that if you are using a regular pot/dutch oven you will want to do about 4 hours on low. So, run with that and see what you come up with.

Chipotle gets my money every week like the dope man! I come in there so often they know what I want when come through the door so to find this is a true find for me. I haven’t tried it yet but will definitely give you feed back. Thank again!

Well I hope you enjoy! I also have Cilantro Rice on here as well. It was the only way my daughter would eat rice at home!

Can I use a Dutch oven and cook @ 325 for 4 hours?
February 3, 2014 at 5:33 pm
Sure! I usually simmer it in my dutch oven on the stove. I would check after about 2 hours (depending on size of meat) and if needed, add some more liquid. Check every hour or so after that.
