ok, so I was off today, kind of worked myself into a long cook, turned out very good, and I had a few cervezas' to keep me company, worked out out good
Started with a nice chuck roast, rubbed with S&P, a little red chile powder, also some Roma tomatos sliced in half
Seared the roast both sides and the edges, 450ish, just long enough to get a good crust, put the romas on for a little char
The romas' went in the food processor with a chopped onion, garlic, toasted, rehydrated Arbol chiles, S&P and lime juice and turned into salsa
Cumin, ancho chile powder, cayenne and a couple more arbol chiles,crushed tomatos and at a simmer for a couple of hours
An hour and dos cevezas later, I found the bay leaves where I left them
After about 2.5 hours the chuck was very tender and ready to shred
Home fried shells, still practicing
Plated with fresh salsa, cucumber slices and guac
Even the front door gaurds are in the spirit!!
Have a good night Y'all!!

That looks very delicious, Kendell.
Two questions, you say you simmmered the beef for a few hours....what did you simmer it in (liquid)? and what temp was the egg at for that? Thanks. I would really like to try that.Rowlett, Texas

It was 1 tblspn cumin, 1 tblspn ancho chile powder,1 tblspn mexican oregano, 1 onion, 2 big garlic cloves, 3 bay leaves, and the original recipe called for 1 tblspn cayenne, I used about a quarter of that and three arbol chiles, 1 new mexico red chile. the liquid was 1 large can of crushed tomatos, with water added to cover the meat, the final sauce was way to tomatoey/acidic for my taste,however the meat was incredibly tender/moist, and very flavorful. I shredded the meat, dumped the sauce. in the future I will try reducing the tomatoes, adding water or stock for the braising liquid, and see how that works. I started with the egg at 450 dome for the sear,put the DO on at that for the onions and garlic, when I added the liquid I closed the vents down and eventually the egg went to 250ish for the simmer.

Home fried taco shells and tortilla chips are the best, absolutely no comparison to store bought. Looks delish! -RP

absolutely right!! this was my first try, they were amazing. I would welcome any tips or tricks, I deep fried at 350, used a wooden spoon to fold.
