Ingredients

2 lb beef (typically round steak or another tough cheap cut), trimmed of fat and cut in to 2" cubes

1-2 medium onions rough minced

4-5 cloves garlic minced

3-4 t cumin

salt

black pepper

1/2-1 can chipotles (chopped)

2-3 t ground dried new mexico chiles

2 bay leaves

1/2 t oregano

veggie oil (or bacon grease)

1 can diced tomatoes

several healthy dashes liquid smoke

jalepenos to taste (minced)

1 large can black beans

Directions

Saute the onions and garlic in the oil in a moderately sized chef's pan (generally about 4 quarts), adding the jalepenos after about a minute.

When translucent, add the beef, enough water to mostly fill the pot, and all ingredients except the tomatoes and black beans.

Simmer for hours until liquid is mostly reduced (maybe 3/4" left in the pan) and the beef is tender.

Scoop the beef out leaving the liquid and veggies as much as possible.

Shred the beef using two forks.

Return the beef to the remaining liquid along with the beans and tomatoes; cook until enough liquid is gone for it to make a decent burrito filling, stirring frequently. The beef will absorb a fair amount of liquid, but the tomatoes will release a lot while they cook.

Serve on tortillas with slices of montery jack cheese and either salsa verde or red enchilada sauce (recipes posted).

Keep in mind I don't measure ingredients, so all amounts are approximate, adjust to taste and heat tolerance.
