  1. CROCKPOT RECIPE

    I used 10 different videos and sort of winged it.

    2.5 lbs beef round bottom

    8-10 guajillo chiles

    1 white onion

    9 cloves garlic

    2 tomatoes

    4 cups beef stock

    1 tsp tomato paste

    1 cup water

    1 tsp cumin

    1 tsp garlic powder

    Sachet(
    1 cinnamon stick
    9 pepper corns
    mexican oregano
    )

    msg to taste
    salt to taste

    Slice the beef in half and pre salt both halves 12 hours before cooking, fridge it.

    Pat beef dry, get a crust going and toss in crockpot on low, add 1 cup beef stock.

    Arrange tomato and half of onion on sheet tray and broil. Take other half of onion, chop and deglaze skillet from beef. Add whole garlic cloves.

    Once veggies are starting to become translucent add tomato paste and the chiles and stir lightly for about 5-7 minutes. Add beef stock and broiled veggies. Cook until chiles soften.

    Blend entire skillet of veggies until no chili bits are left, mesh strainer is your friend here. Pour over beef in crockpot, and more beef stock, water, cumin and garlic powder.

    Assemble sachet of peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, mexican oregano, add to crockpot. Season with salt to taste, use even LESS msg.

    Skim fat from top as it cooks and collect in container for corn tortillas.

    Cook on high for 5 hours, when fat renders off I pull the meat and string chop it to my consistency as it’s tender enough.

    Add a little consommé to meat, don’t soak it, leave as is until you’re ready to cook corn tortillas, chihuahua cheese and meat.
