Chipotle Barbacoa Burritos

These Chipotle Barbacoa Burritos are one of my favorite Mexican dishes. We start out with a beef chuck roast, which is seared on a pan and then slow cooked to perfection. The secret to this beef barbacoa’s flavor is in the sauce, which includes smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cumin and a splash of lime juice.

Although we’re putting the barbacoa mixture in burritos, you can also serve this on its own, or in a bowl topped with chopped onion, cilantro, cheese and guacamole. This would also taste amazing as a topping on nachos!

You can also make this into a Chipotle Barbacoa Bowl by omitting the tortilla!
