Beef Carnita Burrritos


This is one of those recipes I found on another site(Tasty Home) but just had to simplify and make my own.
It makes quite a bit so if you are feeding a crowd or just want leftovers..this is a great recipe for you!

You will need:
a 2-3 pound chuck roast
1 can diced green chilies
2 c. chicken broth
1 T. ground cumin
2 T. chili powder
1 t. oregano
4 whole cloves of garlic
1 onion, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 lime, cut in wedges
3 T. olive oil

Method one: Heat the oil in a dutch oven (the kind that can go into the oven). Sprinkle the meat with 1/2 of the cumin and salt and pepper. Sear both sides of the meat and then add the chilies, chili powder, oregano, garlic, and chicken broth. Cover and bake at 400 for 1 and 1/2 hours.
OR just put it into the oven at a low temperature (like 250) and bake all day....great method for those working people. OR just do all of this in a crockpot...easier yet for working folks.
By the time you get home this delicious aroma will be waiting in your house. Cook up the onions and red peppers in a little olive oil.
Serve with some sour cream and cilantro...Yummy:)

If you really want to get it all together...put this in the oven and make refried beans in your crockpot:
Put 4c. broth (your choice type), 1 chopped onion, 1/2 jalapeno, 1-2 T. garlic, 1/8 t. cumin, and one bag pinto beans into your crockpot. Cook on high 8 hours. Instant side dish!
