I use leftover meat for this dish. If there are no leftovers available (maybe a teenager in the house already ate them….) see the recipe below.

Lime Crema is great with chicken or shrimp tacos as well.

Try it in place of tartar sauce with seafood entrees.

Ingredients:

Lime Crema:
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup milk
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. minced cilantro
2 Tbsp. lime juice
½ tsp. salt

Tacos:
4 cups shredded beef (cooked pot roast)
½ cup hot salsa
1 cup mild salsa
1 cup red onion, chopped
2 yellow peppers
1 tomato, chopped
12 flour tortillas
Lime Crema
Garnish: cilantro sprigs & lime wedges

Shredded Beef:
1 lb. round steak, or 1 ½ lbs. chuck roast
1 tsp. olive oil
½ cup beer
½ cup water

Directions:

Lime Crema:

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix together and chill, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Tacos:

Combine shredded beef, salsas, and red onion in large skillet. Sauté 7-10 minutes, until heated through. Grill tortillas. Slice and grill yellow peppers. Arrange tortillas, beef mixture, lime crema, tomatoes, and peppers on serving platter. Let each person assemble their own taco.

Shredded Beef:

Brown meat in oil in large skillet. Add beer and water, cover tightly, and let simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is tender and shreds easily.
