Instructions

Step 1

Sauté half an onion, two tomatoes, and loads of garlic over medium heat. Season with all the seasonings listed in the ingredients except fresh cilantro.

Step 2

Once veggies are cooked, add four cups of water and two bouillon cubes. Let simmer until onion is very soft.

Step 3

Take out bay leaves. Then add everything to a blender including half a can of chipotle peppers in adobo.

Step 4

Strain your sauce with preferably a cheese cloth (I used a standard strainer) into the crock pot. Now is the time to taste your sauce and adjust seasonings.

Step 5

Cook on low for 4 hours, add beyond steak towards the last 30 min.

Step 6

Once it’s done, dip your tortillas in the sauce and add them to a pan with oil on medium heat. Assemble your tacos with the steak and add cheese. Fold them and fry both sides till crispy.

Step 7

Serve with a side of your sauce garnished with cilantro and onion!
