Method
Watch it made- 01In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks until browned on all sides, then remove from pot.
- 02Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- 03Return beef to the pot, adding beef broth and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 3-4 hours until beef is tender.
- 04Once the beef is tender, shred it with two forks and mix well with the cooking liquid to keep it moist.
- 05For the avocado lime crema, blend avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
