Kristy and Eric's Tacos

This is not mine, though I may have altered it some. Some friends of ours from LA had us over for tacos and were kind enough to offer us their recipe. Here's my version of Kristy and Eric's Tacos.

Ingredients:
3 lb Chuck Roast
1 yellow onion
1 garlic clove
1 can diced tomatoes
1 box beef broth (Stock)
1 red bell pepper
1 bay leaf
1 chili pepper of choice
Salt/pepper/cumin/coriander/onion & garlic powder, chili powder

It may not be identical to Kristy's, but here's what we did: 3 lb chuck roast, cut into cubes and add to a dutch oven or crock pot. I added (all spices are to taste) cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, onion/garlic powder, chili powder, one yellow onion peeled and quartered, a bunch of garlic, peeled, cracked but not diced, one bay leaf, 1 can diced tomatoes with the juice, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 chili pepper of your choice added whole, sliced or diced, (seeds optional. Seeds add more heat) and then add enough beef broth to cover the cubed beef and veggies.

Cover and roast at 350 for 3 hrs (or crock pot on high for 3-5 hrs). Remove the beef pieces and shred the beef. I used small, flour tortillas and pan fried in oil, using tongs, (see picture below). Curve the tortilla on one side, once it's a bit firm, flip and fry the other side until it's the shape of a taco shell. Once you do this, you'll never eat a store bought taco shell again.

Guacamole ingredients:
3 avocados
1 small white or red onion
1 small lime
Cilantro
Salt/Pepper to taste
Tomato

For the guacamole, I used 3 avocados, peel and mush with a fork until it's all smooth, dice a white or red onion to taste, add lime (and some zest), cilantro, tomato, salt and pepper. Enjoy!
