Title: Chuck Roast Tacos
Post by: Hank D Thoreau on March 21, 2020, 08:36:33 PM: Finished two chuck roasts today for shredded beef. I turned mine into tacos. I also saw sandwiches being made.

The beef flavor really came through in the tacos.

I will go for BBQ beef later. The shredded beef turning out to be a very popular item at our house.

It took about 7 1/4 hours to cook the two chucks. They were 2 1/2 and 2/ 2/3 pounds.

Last time I only cooked one and I didn't get any. I was smarter this time and cooked two.

I'm just happy that it all gets eaten. I can always cook more.

I've never done one before but am going to attempt one soon.

I wrapped in foil with 1/8 cup of beef broth at 160. I discarded the beef broth when I was done. I poured the beef both over the pulled beef with the first one I did a week ago, but I think it made it a bit strong.

I didn't make the corn tortillas this time since I had a couple of packages to use and masa harina has been sold out at the store. I want to save my masa harino for when I cannot find tortillas.
