Chipotle Barbacoa Beef Burrito (Copycat)
Description
This recipe for Chipotle Barbacoa Beef Burrito replicates the well-known barbacoa style beef by cooking a five-pound chuck roast in a sauce made from apple cider vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, ground cloves, and chipotle chiles in adobo. The process begins with blending the sauce ingredients, then searing the beef to develop deep browning on all sides. The sauce and chicken broth are added, and the beef is cooked slowly either in a slow cooker for seven hours on low or in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 4 hours until fork tender. This slow cooking breaks down the meat fibers, resulting in shredded beef with a moist texture and robust smoky, spicy, and tangy taste profile. It can be used as a filling for burritos or other dishes.
