Firehouse Machaca Taco Filling
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
2 quarts water
3 lbs beef chuck
1 small onion, quartered
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet mini peppers
1 cup green salsa
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp chopped jalapeno pepper
Instructions:
In a stockpot, combine water, beef, and quartered onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer covered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until meat is very tender. Strain and reserve broth. Shred meat with 2 forks. Set aside.
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chopped onion and sweet mini peppers until tender. Stir in 1 cup of the reserved broth, shredded beef, salsa, cilantro, and jalapenos. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until heated through.
Serves 10.
