EVERYDAY FOOD Smoky Beef Tacos

This recipe comes from Everyday Food Issue # 60. The beef is so easy to make and really delicious. I'm always stumped with how to make a roast interesting and this was a big hit for me.

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a heavy pot that has a tight fitting lid, stir together:
   2-3 T chopped canned chiles in adobo
   1/2 c ketchup
   1 cup water
   8 chopped garlic cloves
   2 tsp dried oregano
   2 tsp salt and 1/4 t pepper
   
3. Cut a 3 pound beef chuck roast (trimmed of excess fat) into 4 pieces and add to pot. Turn to coat. Cover and bring pot to boil.
   
4. Once pot is boiling, turn off heat and put the pot into the pre-heated oven and bake covered 2 1/2 hours.
   
5. Transfer beef from pot and shred pork. Remove fat with spoon and add additional liquid to beef if desired.

Serve beef in corn tortillas with sour cream or with rice and beans.
