Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Chuck roast or flank steak are great options for shredded beef burritos. These cuts are flavorful and become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Use a Slow Cooker or Dutch Oven: Slow cooking allows the beef to become fall-apart tender. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also use a Dutch oven over low heat.
  • Add Aromatics and Spices: To enhance the flavor of the beef, add aromatics like onion, garlic, and bell peppers. You can also use a blend of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Overcooked beef will become tough and dry. Cook the beef until it is tender and easily shredded, but not so long that it falls apart.
  • Shred the Beef Before Serving: Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks or a meat shredder. This will make it easier to fill your burritos.
