Tex Mex Shredded Beef Sandwiches Recipes

SPICY SHREDDED BEEF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet. Brown beef cubes for 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce the heat, add the garlic, salt and cumin. Cook another 15 minutes.
• Add the can of tomatoes and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add water to the skillet as needed to keep the mixture from boiling dry.
• When cooked very tender, cool, then shred the meat using 2 forks. Place back on heat and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• If planning to freeze, cool before packing in freezer bags and placing in freezer.
• For soft burritos, top a warm flour tortilla with the meat mixture, salsa, and grated cheese.

TEX-MEX TACO BEEF SLIDERS

Steps:

• Put the chuck roast in a slow cooker with the taco seasoning, chopped onion, and beef stock. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Alternatively, cook the beef in a large Dutch oven or saucepan on the stovetop - you might need extra liquid - over low heat until very tender, about 2 hours.
• Remove the beef and chop or shred. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the sliders and bake. Sliders and Baking Instructions
• Heat the oven to 375 F.
• Spray a large sheet of heavy duty foil - large enough to wrap the rolls - with nonstick cooking spray.
• Slice the rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom rolls in the center of the prepared foil. Separate the bottoms but keep them close together.
• Spread sour cream over the bottoms and then sprinkle with cilantro, if using.
• Top the sour cream layer with the cooked chopped or shredded beef.
• Drizzle 4 to 5 tablespoons of taco sauce over the beef layer and then top with the chopped red onion.
• Top with sliced pickled chile pepper rings.
• Overlap the cheese slices over the chile pepper layer.
• Place the top of the rolls over the cheese. If desired, separate the tops slightly or wait until they come out of the oven.
• Combine the melted butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon of taco sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder. Brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls.
• Wrap the foil over the top; seal the top and ends. Place the foil package on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover the tops and bake for 5 minutes longer to brown slightly.
• Remove from the oven and carefully cut and separate to make individual sliders.
