Recipes from Mexico :: Mexican Main Dishes Meat
In a crockpot, combine the following:
1 1/2 lb. (one and a half lbs. ) lean stew beef
1 1/2 lb. (one and a half lbs. ) lean pork cubes
1 c. finely chopped onion
2 c. finely chopped green bell pepper
Combine the following ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. dry mustard
Blend all of these ingredients well and add to the crockpot. Stir into the meat, onion and pepper mixture. Cover and cook on HIGH for 8 hours. Stir to shred meat before serving on buttered rolls or pita bread.
NOTE: If you do not have a crockpot, you can simmer this mixture on top of the stove. Use a very heavy Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid.
This may also be served over rice rather than using rolls, if desired. Leftovers freeze great.
