Chef’s Tips

This recipe makes a pretty big batch of shredded beef. So, store any leftover beef in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Or, to make it last even longer, freeze for up to 3 months!Top these shredded beef tacos however you’d like! Some shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and queso fresco are my personal favorite toppings. Though like I said before, serve these tacos with all the toppings on display, and let everyone choose what they’d like!Turn these into shredded beef burrito bowls by ditching the tortillas and serving all toppings over rice instead! Or, for an even healthier options, try it over shredded lettuce as a salad.
