Preparation

  1. What you need

    • Select the number of serves you require for this recipe, and the quantity of ingredients will be automatically adjusted accordingly.

  2. Braised Beef

    • Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned all over. Place into a casserole dish.
    • Place the chipotle chillies and adobo liquid, apple cider vinegar, spices, lime juice and garlic into a blender and pulse until smooth.
    • Add the processed mix to water (1 l per 10 serves) along with KNORR Beef Booster and ½ of the KNORR Jus.
    • Add ⅔ of the KNORR Mexican Chunky Salsa Mild and stir to combine.
    • Pour the sauce over the meat in the casserole dish, add the bay leaves, and cook on low for 8 hours. Once ready, skim the fat off the surface of the braising sauce.
    • Remove the meat and shred. Add some of the braising sauce (500 ml per 10 serves) to the meat and stir to combine.

  3. To Assemble, Cook and Serve

    • Dip each tortilla into the braising sauce and add to a heated fry pan. Fry on both sides until the tortilla becomes lightly crispy.
    • Add the shredded beef to one side of each tortilla, fold over, then pour a bit more sauce over the tortilla.
    • Flip and cook on the other side for a few minutes. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining tacos.
    • Top with Manchego cheese, pickled onions, coriander leaves, and chilli.
    • Serve with extra sauce from the braised beef, the rest of the KNORR Mexican Chunky Salsa Mild for dipping and the limes cut into 1/8th for garnish.

  4. Chef’s Tip

    • Substitute Manchego for parmesan, if preferred.
