Shredded Green Chile Beef
“This Tex-Mex pulled beef roast is tender, slightly spicy, juicy, and so delicious served over mashed potatoes or rice. The beef also makes the best soft tacos you’ve ever had. Save any leftover pulled beef in the liquid to prevent it from drying out.” —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia
