These braised chipotle beef tacos are made with tender chuck roast slowly cooked in a smoky tomato-chipotle sauce until the beef practically falls apart. The braising liquid reduces into a rich sauce that coats the shredded beef for deeply flavorful tacos with a mostly hands-off braise.<\/span><\/p>\n

These braised chipotle beef tacos are not a quick weeknight dinner when you make them from start to finish, but they work beautifully for a weeknight when the beef is made ahead. Chuck roast slowly braises until it\u2019s tender enough to fall apart with a fork, then the braising liquid gets reduced into a delicious smoky sauce that coats every strand of shredded beef. Make the beef over the weekend, and taco night later in the week becomes mostly a matter of reheating the filling, warming the tortillas, and adding your favorite toppings.<\/p>\n

Reducing the braising liquid is what really makes this recipe special. Instead of ending up with plain shredded beef sitting in a thin cooking liquid, you get juicy, saucy beef with so much more flavor. The chipotle brings plenty of smokiness without making the tacos noticeably spicy. If you enjoy those deeper Southwestern flavors, our hatch chile steak bites<\/a> or hatch chile corn salad<\/a> are another favorite.<\/p>\n

My reaction to the first bite of these tacos was enthusiastic enough that Preston was still talking about it days later. And because one batch makes plenty of beef, the payoff goes beyond taco night. Use the leftovers for quesadillas<\/a>, burritos, bowls, or nachos<\/a> later in the week. That makes this one of those weekend cooking recipes that earns its keep long after dinner is over.<\/p>\n
