Slow Cooked Chipotle

This dish is full of intense flavours such as garlic, cayenne, and sweet, smoky chipotle. Make sure you scale down the cayenne and serrano if you can't handle heat or if the kids are eating with you because this recipe is packin' lots of it! Serve on corn or flour tortillas garnished with cilantro and topped with lime cilantro rice (from this website), black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream.

 

 

Matthew's Cooking Tip:

I cook everything extremely spicy so my addition of cayenne and serrano peppers may or may not be spicy to you. If I was a normal person this measurement might be different but written as is it's very hot!
