First you need to get the beef nice and tender.
Start off by coating the chuck roast with hot sauce to create a binder for the seasoning. Then, cover all sides with your favorite taco seasoning for which I used Dad’s Taco seasoning.
Time to get the grill going. Heat it up to 250 degrees indirect heat. Once the temperature is reached, throw the seasoned chuck roast directly on the grates for about 3 hours.
Next, transfer the grilled beef into a dutch oven. Add in salsa, pickled jalapeños – with all the liquids and beer then place back on the grill for another 3 hours or until the beef is nice and tender. Shred the beef and set aside.
Man, my mouth is watering just writing this recipe!
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Finally, time to assemble the tacos!
Fire up the griddle to med/high heat. If you do not have griddle, use any type of flat cooking surface on the grill or stove top.
Dip some flour tortillas, I used Caramelo tortillas in the beef juices and throw them on the griddle. This gives the taco an extra coating of flavor. Add a layer of shredded cheese, a handful of the shredded beef, fold over and let the cheese melt. Reopen the taco, add some chopped onions, cilantro, close again to get those tacos nice and crispy.
For the grand finale! Finish off by sprinkling some freshly chopped cilantro on top and you have yourself some of the best shredded beef tacos out there! Enjoy!
