CRISPY SLOW-COOKED PULLED BEEF TACOS
Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced) or set up your slow cooker.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the beef brisket and sear on all sides until browned, then remove and set aside.
- 3Add the onion and garlic to the same pan. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until starting to soften. Stir in the oregano, paprika, and tomato paste and cook for another minute.
- 4Add the crushed tomatoes, chipotle peppers, stock, and sugar, stir well, and bring to a simmer.
- 5Return the beef to the pan, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the sauce. Cover with the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for 4 hours, turning the beef halfway through, until it is tender and easily pulled apart. Alternatively, transfer everything to a slow cooker to cook for up to 8 hours.
- 6Remove the beef. Shred it with two forks, then return it to the sauce and stir to coat.
- 7Dunk the tortillas in the slow cooker beef juice and place them in the pan.
- 8Add some shredded beef and cheese to each tortilla.
- 9Fold the tortillas and let them cook until gooey and crispy.
- 10Meanwhile, blend all the avocado dipping sauce ingredients until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- 11Serve the crispy mini tacos with avocado dipping sauce.
