Ingredients

Directions

  • 500g (1.1 lbs) halal-certified beef, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (5g)
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds (5g)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (5g)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (5g)
  • 2 dried ancho chilies, seeded and soaked
  • 500 ml (2 cups) beef broth
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 gluten-free tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving
  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring gently until they become golden and their fragrance fills your kitchen, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the halal beef chunks, allowing them to brown on all sides. This should take around 8 minutes, and you’ll notice a rich color developing on the meat.
  3. Introduce the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir gently for 2 minutes, letting the spices bloom and release their warm, inviting aromas.
  4. In a blender, combine the soaked ancho chilies with the beef broth, blending until smooth. Pour this rich mixture over the beef, then add the apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer quietly for about 2 hours, or until the beef becomes tender and easily shredded. If the pot begins to dry, add a splash more broth to keep everything moist.
  6. Once the beef is tender, shred it using two forks, allowing it to soak up the flavorful sauce for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Warm the gluten-free tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat, about 1 minute on each side, until they are soft and pliable.
  8. Fill each tortilla with the luscious shredded beef mixture, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
