Easy Mexican Shredded Beef
- 2 pounds Pot Roast, Shredded
- 1/2 whole Medium Yellow Onion, Chopped Finely
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Garlic, Minced
- 1 envelope Taco Seasoning
- 1 can Black Beans (15 Oz), Drained
- 1 can Diced Green Chilies (4 Oz)
- 1 can Mushrooms (4 Oz), Drained
- Shred pot roast (at least 1/2 of a 3lb roast).
- Saute chopped 1/2 medium onion in olive oil and add 3 Tbsp minced garlic.
- Add the shredded meat to the onion/garlic and heat through.
- Add one packet of taco seasoning and 3/4 cup of water.
- Mix.
- Add one can of black beans, drained (15 oz.)
- Add one can of diced green chilies (4 oz.)
- Add one can of mushrooms (4 oz.).
- I use pieces and stems, because if I dont my kids see them out immediately and pick them out.
- Let this simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
- Then the possibilities are endless!
- Here is the list of extras that my family uses:
- Shredded cheese, usually sharp Sour Cream Guacamole / sliced avocado Cilantro Shredded or Romaine lettuce
- Weve made tostadas, hard/soft tacos, burritos and taco salad with the shredded beef as it is pretty versatile.
- Ive also just taken the shredded beef mixture, rolled it up in corn tortillas and fried them to make taquitos.
- Ive spent afternoons frying up taquitos and putting them in freezer bags.
- Homemade taquitos are incredible!
- We personally like to mix sour cream and green taco sauce together to dip them in....YUMMY!
