SHREDDED RED-CHILE MEAT



Shredded Red-Chile Meat image

Tortillas, which of course can be used in a variety of ways, are also potential tacos. This recipe for a kind of shredded chile-sauced meat - beef, pork, chicken or lamb - goes perfectly with homemade tortillas.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, project, appetizer, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless beef chuck, pork shoulder, lamb shoulder or chicken (thigh) meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
2 dried guajillo chiles, seeds and stems removed
2 dried ancho chiles, seeds and stems removed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients except the cayenne. Add water to cover, and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that comes to the surface. Partly cover, and adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles steadily; cook until the meat is very tender, 1 to 2 hours
  • Transfer the meat to a bowl, and let it cool, then shred it with your fingers. Discard the bay leaves, and transfer the garlic, onion and chiles to a blender along with a splash of the cooking liquid. Blend until smooth. Add the sauce to the meat, and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a little cayenne if you want it spicier; you may want to overseason the meat slightly if you're using it as a filling. Use, or store in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a few months.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices, so feel free to add or omit spices to taste. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Red shredded chicken chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and versatile flavor, this chili is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this Red Shredded Chicken Chili a try!
