INGREDIENTS:
1 Package of London Broil Meat
6 Cups of water
3 Anaheim Peppers a.k.a Hatch Chiles
1 Medium sized tomato
1 Medium Onion
1 Tbsp of Minced Garlic
3 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp of Oregano leaves
3 Bay Leaves
1 Tsp of ground cumin
Black crushed pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Cilantro is optional {add to taste}
PREPARATION:
1.- Cut the onion in half and then cut one half into quarters. Place water, oregano, cumin, black pepper, bay leaves, salt and meat in a slow cooker/crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours or until meat is tender.
2.- Once the meat is fully cooked it will look brown, take out of the slow cooker/crockpot and pull it apart into thin threads.
3.- Once the entire meat is pulled into threads chop chiles, tomatoes and the half onion you have left into tiny squares. Place a large skillet on medium-high heat with extra virgin olive oil. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, chopped hatch chile and meat. Sauté mixing well so it combines all the flavors.
4.- Add chopped tomato and if you are adding cilantro this when to add it {make sure it is chopped as well or at least just the leaves}.
5.- In the meantime heat the flour tortillas. Once the tortillas are warm place them on a flat surface and add the "machaca" pulled meat in the middle and roll the tortilla from one side to the other creating a burrito. If you want to add flavor and more texture to it, add some "queso fresco" which is fresh cheese, avocado slices and salsa.
Enjoy warm!
These look so yummy :D Are they as good without the peppers? I love spicy, but my honey does not. Thanks for the recipe xo!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it without the peppers, however you could maybe try with bell peppers? The yellow ones are usually sweeter than spicy :D
DeleteOh these look yummy! Do you make homemade tortillas? I would love to learn how to make good flour and corn. Mine never turn out. Thanks for following me on twitter.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to make corn tortillas, I used the tortilla press that they sell in Hispanic food markets. But sorry to say no good ones yet... As for flour, I have aunts that make them by hand! No rolling pin or press! I have yet to learn to make them. :D
