i don't know if this was anything specific. i divided that giant chuck roast from Costco into various packages, this one i envisioned as beef carnitas, but ended a lot closer to carne guisada. but a completely different flavor profile. hey, my algorithm feeds me lots of mexican/texmex, i dunno man 😆...so anyway this was just kinda various techniques and flavors i know are delicious, an amalgam of 'mexican braised meat dishes' 😛
roasted tomatillos, tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeños, and a few rehydrated chili pods, added oregano, dash of comino, chicken bouillon, pepper, blended very well
used my rendered tallow 😁 seared the meat, then onions, made a roux, added bit of tom paste, then sauce, returned meat, added a ton of cilantro stalks, cooked covered on med-low for about 2 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 mins or so to keep from sticking...
delicioso!
also...i made my own refried beans, started with a plain can of pintos, used the tallow... holy shit these were ridiculous 🤤
ETA yeah those are HEB butter tortillas...i brought two packs home a couple weeks ago, divided them into packs of five, vacuum-sealed and froze them 😆
