I've made this recipe so many times, it's a regular menu item in our house. EVERY time I make it my husband raves about how good it is. I stick pretty much to the original recipe, except that during the last step of the meat mixture, I put the lid on and let it simmer until I'm done with the tortilla shells. I really think it keeps the meat moist and tender, and it also lets all the flavors come together better. I also add a bit of "this and that" whatever I have left over (such as corn, black beans, other types of peppers, etc. Also great with homemade guacamole. You just can't go wrong with this!

Only made the shredded beef but I loved it!! Served it with "arepas". So delicious. Time consuming but super easy to make. My boyfriend doesn't like onions, garlic, or jalapenos so I just threw them in whole (actually, i cut them all in half and took the seeds out of the jalapeno and then took the chunks out at the end. Really gave the food flavor without the "displeasing" texture.

Such an easy recipe to do in the crockpot for the shredded beef. I use regular tortillas and roll the beef up with cheese and cilantro. Quite tasty.

I only used the recipe for the shredded beef, which I used on beef tostadas. This beef was so delicious and tender... it was exactly what I was looking for. There was a little bit left over which I re-heated and ate the next day. Unbelievably tasty!

This dish was served at our "Cooking Club" last night and it was one of the best of the evening! Instead of making gorditas, we ate the meat mixture on flour tortillas and it was delicious! I look forward to making this for my husband next week!

Even though the recipe itself looks time-consuming, this actually can be converted to quick weeknight cooking by making the shredded meat in the crockpot. I threw the chuck steak, onions, and garlic in the crockpot on a 10-hour setting and made the salsa in the morning and threw the whole pot in the fridge. When I got home, I just drained and shredded the meat, tossed in the salsa, and fried up some ready-to-cook gorditas from the grocery. I'd love to make my own, but that would take more time than I generally have. Throw on some chopped cilantro, and it's a new family favorite.
