Your new favorite taco is here! I can't get enough of these barbacoa tacos.
I found this recipe from Guac My Life and tweaked it just a little because, let's be honest, I didn't have all of the ingredients in my pantry.
I've been wanting to try a barbacoa recipe because:
- It's so easy
- Feeds a lot of hungry people
- Super versatile: tacos, burrito, bowls, etc.
I love the bold flavor of this recipe and the fact that you literally do 15 minutes of work for super tender and falling apart meat. I've had this for lunch for the past 2 weeks and I have no regrets.
Eat the barbacoa in a taco or over cilantro lime rice, that's my go-to combo!
The spicy beef and the mild rice goes PERFECTLY together and the lime really brightens the flavors.
Give it a try and tell me what you think!
