CRUNCHY BEEF TACOS

DINNER AT HOME

I am a Certified Tacoholic. The problem is however you cannot get good Tacos in Hawaii so I am forced to make them at home.  I'll put these Crunchy Beef Tacos up against any in Hawaii and they are especially great because they are low carb using Ala Madre Low Carb Corn Tortillas.  We do both Ground Beef and Shredded Beef Tacos at home.  I like both but a good Shredded Beef is really the way to go.

Love my wife for taking the time to make our homemade Shredded Beef recipe that we used back in the day at our Mexican restaurant.  The process takes 24 hours of slow cooking in chiles, seasonings and cooking liquid.  What a great Taco Tuesday at Casa de Santos!

I was craving Tacos for two days so decided to hit Jose's in Kaimuki for a few.  Ordered my "go to" Shredded Beef Tacos and was a bit disappointed that the beef was pretty flavorless.

My wife agreed and said she never wants to come back here which is sad.

After this visit, I now have no place to go on Oahu for a good crunchy taco.  Looks like I will just have to make my own at home to get the authentic flavor.

Craving Tacos and and Enchilada so we hit Jose's for some lunch.  Always amazed when I walk in here as it has not changed in 30 years.  I like the Shredded Beef Tacos and Chicken Enchilada.  It's no Javier's, but what the heck were in Hawaii.

Cooked Shredded Beef for 8 hours in the slow cooker over the weekend and made these delicious tacos.  Low carb tortillas of course!  One of my fave foods on earth.

Crunchy Shredded Beef Tacos are one of my favorite meals.  Problem is there is no place in Hawaii that makes good ones.  I make my own using a variety of different recipes.

Made a delicious batch using a recipe from the internet.  Simmered the Beef for hours with lots of spices, beef stock, tomatoes, jalapeños, onions, garlic and orange juice.

Used the recipe below and it turned out really good.  Also use A La Madre Low Carb Tortillas to stay low carb.  Highly recommend A La Madre Tortillas if you want all the great Tortilla taste without the carbs.  https://alamadre.co

I get to pick an entire week of my favorite meals and my lovely Bride is going to make them for me provided I am a good boy.  First up on the list is my fave Crunchy Shredded Beef Tacos.  These homemade tacos are one of my favorite dishes ever.  Marinated and slowly cooked beef, lettuce, cheese and pico de Gallo with a lot of hot sauce.  I love these tacos!

One of my favorite meals of all time is Crunchy Shredded Beef Tacos. We make the Shredded Beef in large batches and then freeze some for future use.  Then it is just making some Pico de Gallo and shredding some lettuce and cheddar cheese.  Yummy!

My Wife makes the absolute BEST Shredded Beef Tacos.  I will put these tacos up against any in America or even Mexico.  They are just that good.  The Shredded Beef takes a day to make and is filled with spices and flavor.  She also makes fresh homemade Salsa and Pico de Gallo which really add to the flavor of this Taco.  When I eat these Tacos I am in heaven.  Each bite makes me happy.

Not bragging but our homemade Shredded Beef Crunchy Tacos are the best anywhere and ten times better than anything you can buy in Hawaii.  The Shredded Beef takes a lot of ingredients and time to prepare using Eye of Round Roast. Also made fresh Pico de Gallo and Hot Sauce.  Tomorrow we will make Rolled Tacos with Guacamole and the next day Shredded Beef Burritos.  This is one of my favorite meals in life.
