This can be used in virtually every Mexican dish that calls for beef: Tacos, tacuitos, enchiladas, tostadas and on and on and on. Each and every one of these things taste better, eats better and is more authentic using shredded beef than if you use mince meat. Read more Also, you can use this same recipe to make shredded pork, lamb or goat. I list a bunch of spices but not amounts. Pick what you want from the list and decide how much you want to use; they’re all optional. Don’t recall where in Mexico I picked this up. Probably some here and some there; it is ubiquitous there to say the least. Last, but not least, you can make this up into say 1 lb packets and freeze it for use as needed. See less
