A great use for left overs! Arrachera beef is a marinated meat used in Mexico for tacos. Left-over roast beef, or even ground beef is a good substitute, however I suggest adding some taco seasoning to the meat.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs arrachera beef, cooked and diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup flour
2 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
1 chipotle pepper, seeded and chopped (or 1 jalapeno, diced)
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 cup carrot, finely diced (optional)
1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup cilantro
