I got this delicious and tasty and easy recipe from the Abilene Chuckwagon Cook-Off. Romaldo was the cookie from one of the large ranches in that area. I have used this recipe so often, it is one of my favorite tried and true. It re-heats well and freezes very well.
Ingredients:
3 -4 lbs chuck roast
2 cans green chilies, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder (pref. new mexico)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt
Directions:
1. Place roast on heavy duty foil.
2. Combine all the rest of the ingredients, and spread on top of the roast.
3. Seal foil securely and place in roasting pan.
4. Bake at 300 degrees F for 3-1/2 to 4 hours (meat should be so tender it falls apart).
5. Use 2 forks and shred roast while still warm.
6. For each serving, spoon meat on a hot flour tortilla.
7. Serve with guacamole and salsa and extra onions (opt).
