- 2 pounds beef shoulder ($4.99 lb. Angus Pride Boneless Arm Roast this week at Fresh)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 large onion, sliced (99¢ lb. Sweet Onions this week at Fresh)
- One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (or get something fresh: $1.69 lb. Hot House Tomatoes this week at Fresh)
- 1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 3 bay leaves
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
- 6 fresh medium corn tortillas
- 3 cups finely shredded white cabbage
- Guacamole ($5.99 14oz. Guacamole this week at Fresh)
- 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
- Lime for flavor - optional (2/$1 Organic Limes this week at Fresh)
Directions:
- Season all sides of the beef with a fair amount of salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, or other heavy pot that has a tight cover, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and the beef to the pot, browning the meat on all sides, taking the time to get a nice crust on the outside. Add the onion and allow to lightly brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, plus 1 tomato can of water, spices, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer with a lid for 3 hours until the meat is fork tender. Let meat cool in the liquid. Shred meat and set aside.
- Heat a large pot of oil over medium heat. When oil reaches 350 degrees F, fry the corn tortillas 1 at a time. Place the tortilla in the oil and wait about 30 seconds. Then use the handle of a wooden spoon to press down into the center of the tortilla and fold it in the middle. Hold down for a few seconds waiting for the tortilla to form into taco shell and then drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
- To assemble the tacos:
- Lay some shredded cabbage as a base. Top with some shredded beef and tomatoes. Serve alongside Guacamole and salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Spritz lime juice for extra flavor.
