So good! I didn't use beef broth, I just put some water, still delicious. I also put some mushroom. I didn't let the Liquid totally evaporated, I couldn't wait that long to eat it!

Yum yum yum! Me and my boyfriend made this dish and we loved it! I recommend marinating it overnight instead of 8 hours and I made a few minor changes:

-I used canned diced green chiles instead of serrano chiles
-I only used 1/2 of a whole onion instead of 1 1/2 cups
-I diced 2 whole red bell peppers

I followed the rest of the directions exactly. The meat so incredibly tender I lightly pulled it apart with my hands I didn't need a fork. I also added refried beans, sour cream and rice a roni spanish rice to the burrito, Delish!

This dish is such a crowd pleaser. I triple it and serve it "American style" with all my favorite burrito toppings (cheese, cilantro, tomatoes, guacamole, etc. The only change I make is that I cook the meat for about 3 hours partially covered. Then I simmer the onion mixture for about an hour until I achieve a thich sauce. I'll add in a dash of Wondra flour to thicken in up even more. I've made this dish 3 times so far and I never end up with leftovers.

I'm sure this is pretty good as written, but it seems counterintuitive to braise a piece of skirt steak, in my opinion. I used short ribs and cooked them in a dutch oven and it was completely delicious. Served on soft tacos topped with picked red onions...bomb.

Very good! Used flank steak and after searing everything on stove top popped my dutch oven in the oven at 325 for 2 1/2 hours and it was perfect after reducing liquid on stove. Not one drip out of the burrito :! Paired with arroz con gandules (pigeon peas and rice. Will make again.

This is so good. I have made them with pork and beef and both are delicious. I am not always able to get serrano chiles, so I have used anaheim and jalapenos. I add some cumin, to taste, as my family really likes it. I used about 2 tlbs oil and it is fine. I make this at least once a month.

Insanely Good! Make sure to reduce most of the liquid, I tried leaving a good bit and while it was still incredibly tasty, they were on the greasy side. these will definitely knock your guests off their feet!

Ok, so this was my second time making it. First time, a little tough and very greasy. But the second time was a masterpiece! I followed the directions exactly except for the marinade I only used 2 Tbsp of oil because 1/2 a cup is too much. But 2 Tbsp was plenty. I also only used 2 Tbsp when I sauteed the onions and peppers. Lastly, I braised it in the oven rather than the stovetop at 350 degrees for 2 hours and 30 minutes. The sauce reduced down on its own and the meat was super tender. I love this dish!!!

Just inhaled the machaca burrito! It was so good! I couldn't find skirt steak either. I ended up using meat that said machaca meat on it. Still came out great!
