Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Boneless Beef Chuck Roast (cooked & shredded)
- 1 jar Chipotle Salsa
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 Onion (chopped)
- 2 Lime (cut into quarters)
- .5 cup Beer (Amber or Lager beer recommended)
- 3 Tbsp Cilantro (fresh and chopped)
- 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
- 14 oz Beef Broth (optional – only needed if cooking chuck roast)
- 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (optional – only needed if cooking chuck roast)
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions
If your chuck roast isn’t already cooked, cook it by adding vegetable oil to a hot pan, and searing the roast on all sides. Season liberally with salt and pepper, place in a roasting pan with beef broth and cook at 350°F for 2.5 hours until you reach an internal temperature of 140°F. Once done, remove from roasting pan and shred.
Add shredded beef to a large pot, and stir in salsa, garlic, onion, beer and tomato paste until thoroughly combined. Cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat until warmed.
Serve shredded beef mixture on warmed tortillas. Give each taco a squeeze of fresh lime juice from a quarter of lime, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

This is delicious! Great twist on a classic
How do you cut beer into quarters?
Hi Marina, we had a display glitch on our website after an update and we fixed that now, everything should make sense again. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I always wondered how to get my leftover pot roast not to taste like well, “pot roast” in a taco shell when I used the roasted meat IN my tacos. This recipe fixed the problem. It made wonderful tacos and I’m looking forward to making a burrito with it, as well. The dark beer I think, was a game-changer. I used “Pure Order” Black Gull Porter, but I would think any dark, rich, heavy beer would work. I did add a bit of chili powder for depth of flavor and my own favorite salsa but geez, such good tacos!!!
What a great way to use leftover pot roast. I could not find chipotle salsa at the store. I used what I had and added some chipotle chili powder. The recipe didn’t specify what size jar of salsa, so I eyeballed it since I had a large jar. I did not have amber or larger beer so I used the Mexican beer I had on hand. I do think a stronger beer would have been better. The meat was lacking something (probably because of the beer I used) so I added a little salt and some cumin. I will make this again but with different beer. This was such a simple recipe.
