This is one of those recipes I love, because it\u2019s like a choose-your-own-adventure. You cook one big batch of Mexican shredded beef, and you get to pick and choose a variety of dinners for the week or freeze leftovers for quick and easy meal planning later. This is just one of the core recipes we stock our freezer with for nights when we don\u2019t want to think. <\/p>\n

That said, there are two steps we never skip no matter how lazy we\u2019re feeling when we start. The sear, because that fond<\/strong> on the bottom of the pan is where half the flavor lives. And skimming too much of the fat layer after the cook, because there\u2019s a layer of orange-red rendered fat sitting on top when the beef is done, and skimming it all off is a mistake. Whisk about a third back into the braising liquid before you return the shredded beef to the pot. That fat is what gives the meat its silky finish.<\/p>\n

Make a big batch, freeze half, and future you gets tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, or enchiladas on a night exactly like this one.<\/p>\n
