Ingredients & Cooking

Ingredients:

  • 1 beef Shoulder Roast Boneless (2 pounds)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
  • 2 medium chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers, divided
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas (6-inch diameter), warmed
  • 2 cups coleslaw
Toppings:
  • Chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, crumbled queso or sour cream, fresh lime juice or lime wedges (optional)

Cooking:
