1️⃣ Introduction
Who doesn't love tacos? They're the perfect combination of flavors and textures, and today we're taking them to a whole new level by incorporating a special ingredient – berries! These berried tacos are packed with savory and tangy flavors that will leave you craving for more. So, let's gather our ingredients and get started!
2️⃣ Ingredients for Berried Tacos
To make these delicious berried tacos, you will need the following ingredients:
- Angus roast (3 pounds, 14 ounces)
- Limes
- Fresh garlic cloves
- Beef broth (2 cups)
- Salsoon seasoning
- Onions
- Chicken-flavored bouillon powder
- Chilies
- Chili powder
- Bay leaf
- Oregano
- Carrots
- Tortilla shells
- Tomato
- Fresh cilantro
- Cheese
3️⃣ Making the Roast
Washing Off the Meat
Begin by washing off the angus roast thoroughly. It's important to ensure the meat is clean before cooking.
Adding Seasonings and Broth
Next, season the meat with salsoon seasoning, chili powder, oregano, and the chopped onions. Add the garlic cloves, carrots, and bay leaf to the pot, along with two cups of beef broth. The broth will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavors.
Cooking the Meat
Place the seasoned meat and ingredients into a slow cooker. Set the temperature to low and let it cook for eight hours or overnight. The slow cooking process will result in incredibly tender and flavorful meat.
4️⃣ Blending the Sauce
After the roast has cooked for eight hours, it's time to prepare the sauce. Remove the garlic cloves, carrots, onions, and peppers from the pot. Blend them in a food processor or blender until they form a smooth sauce.
5️⃣ Making the Casamay Sauce
To enhance the flavors of the berried tacos, we'll make a casamay sauce using the blended sauce and additional ingredients.
Preparing the Peppers
Remove the stems and seeds from five California peppers and two pasilla peppers.
Cooking the Peppers
Heat two cups of oil in a pan. To test if the oil is hot enough, place a pair of chopsticks in the oil. Once bubbles form around the chopsticks, add the peppers. Cook the peppers until they turn black, then remove them from the oil.
Adding Chili Powder and Cilantro
In the same pan, add chili powder and cilantro to the hot oil. Stir them together to infuse the flavors and create a rich sauce.
6️⃣ Assembling the Tacos
Heating the Tortilla Shells
Heat the tortilla shells in a separate pan until they are warm and pliable. This will make it easier to fold and seal the tacos.
Filling the Shells
Place a piece of meat in the center of each tortilla shell. Add cheese, cilantro, and onions for extra flavor. Fold the taco in half, enclosing the filling.
Folding the Tacos
Using a pair of tongs, carefully place the folded tacos in hot oil. Cook until the cheese inside melts and the tortilla turns crispy and golden brown. Flip the tacos to ensure even cooking.
7️⃣ Cooking the Tacos
Continue cooking the tacos until they are crispy and golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8️⃣ Garnishing and Serving
To complete these berried tacos, garnish them with the casamay sauce, fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of tanginess.
