Chuck Roast Tacos

So simple and so good. This is a good one if you’re working from home to start on your lunch and have it be ready by the end of your work day. Or just be a bum and skip work and do it, I’m not your boss or a snitch. If you don’t have Goya Sazon (the “y achiote” variety) I highly recommend, easy way to add a burst of flavor.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 4 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (Personal rec: a mix of normal taco seasoning & Goya sazon)
  • corn tortillas
  • Finely chopped onion
  • Finely chopped cilantro
  • Guacamole (our recipe here, you lazy bum)

STEPS

  • Preheat oven to 325
  • Season roast all sides with salt, pepper, & taco seasoning
  • Add to baking dish & cover with foil
  • Bake for 1 hour per lb of meat
  • Remove from oven and shred into large chunks using 2 forks
  • Toss the shredded meat into the rendered fat of the baking dish
  • Place back in oven for 20-25 mins uncovered until the edges are crispy
  • In a saucepan, heat up your tortillas
  • You’re done! Fill with meat, guac, onion, and cilantro while wondering why you don’t make it every day until you die
