This chipotle barbacoa recipe is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. It tastes great wrapped up in a burrito, served in tacos, or used as a topping for steak nachos.
My inner mexican cry's for the need to see the barbacoa to be cooked the traditional way in a pit overnight but the other inner me is drooling at how good it looks. ….
Not authentic, but it still looks delicious 😋
How should I set the temperature for the 6 hours cooking if a use a regular stove?
Made this yesterday. This recipe is money, Jason! Thanks.
Not barbacoa
Barbacoa can be made a 1000 different ways. I learned my very plain version from a Mexican restaurant in Zillah, Wa. Place a 3lb chuck roast in a frying pan and brown on all side. Place in pressure cooker, sprinkle 1 pkg of aus ju over meat And set a cube of butter on top. Cook for 90 minutes. When done, break up the meat and pour juice over. Serve with flour tortillas, salsa of your choice, cheese, onions, etc.
I like mine plain!
I love how it makes my whole house smell amazing for hours!
Very good recipe! Subscribed!!!
You have skills….
Sorry but barbacoa comes comes from the cabeza.
I'm sure this is amazingly delicious but it's not barbacoa.
this might sound like a stupid question.. is the pressure cooker the same as a slow cooker?
i like to make my own flour tortillas.. turn our better than boughten and cheap and easy to make
This is not barbacoa !

Barbacoa is the head of the cow.
I tried this very good thxs
I HEART RHIS
If it is possible to find in your area try using beef cheek meat & your life will never be the same!
All the Mexicans I work with have been telling this was cow brains, I feel so betrayed lol
You made it so easy for me to try this on my own. Thank you.
Didnt have the apple cider nor chipotles but instead put some guajillo amd OMG THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST BARBACOA IVE EVER EVER HAD !!!
If you crazy Mexicans don't have anything nice to say then don't go looking on YouTube it's people like you that make this world sad and yes I'm Mexican!
Such a great and simple video – easy to follow. Superb. Any chance of guacamole and lime rice?
Lol that’s not Barbacoa. Rofl!
Thought barbacoa was lamb????
This deserves more views, that barbacoa looks amazingly tender and delicious!
Look forward to trying this. One question. You said at the end of the video that it cooked down. Do you leave the lid off the last hour so the liquid cooks off?
Can't wait to try this!!
Excellent, thank you for sharing your recipe chef , it looks so delicious.
Made this recipe many times but today I was in a hurry and didn't sear the meat. Will it effect the cook time at all?
I’m used to barbacoa being made from the cows head meat not chuck roast.
Hi. What temperature means the high heat when you're cooking all together?
Making this recipe right now. Smells are amazing from the chipoltes in the sauce. Do you ever add a tad of cinnamon to the sauce?
This helped a lot! I had a written recipe that was very close to yours, but I was wondering how large the blocks of chuck should be. Checked on youtube and found this! Thanks!!
Got all my ingredients ready to make this tomorrow 😉
Barbacoa is cow cheek
chuck roast?
Dude, looks yummy, I'm doing this for weekend dinner, oh yeah, thank you for sharing. And, P.S. to the rude Debbie downers comments, easy to post negative comments, since some of you guys talk crap I request you put up your own video to prove your recipe to be supposedly authentic. Barbacoa can be done in many variations. I've traveled to many cities of Mexico and different cities have different ways of doing things, the beauty is the variations. Authentic is what ones personal taste perceives it to be. Chef I appreciate your video, again thanks for sharing.
Made this at least 5 times and I always come back to the video and it makes me want to make it again.
making this for The Superbowl Tomorrow 👍
Use cow cheek meat dont trim the fat or add water and serve with corn tortillas onions,cilantro,and fresh jalapeno with a squeeze og lime 🖒🖒
1. Can I make the sauce in a food processor because I don't have a blender?
2. Can I cook it in the oven because I don't have a slow cooker?
We've made this countless times now, both in a crockpot as well as an Instant Pot. The taste is delicious! Thanks!
I made this in a pressure cooker. I seared the beef and made the sauce with 2 cups of broth and it cooked under pressure for 45min. It was delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!
you know who else is a sucker for sour cream with mexican food? No one. Why? Because sour cream isnt used as a topping for mexican food
Because a white guy makes it! Lol! This is so inauthentic it could only come from California home of the inventor of the Chimmjchanga!
But seriously folks stop with the reverse racism and learn some authentic Mexican culture and remember barbacoa was made in the carabian as well as Mexico. But never like this chef. Although it incorporates some nice ingredients and no doubt tastes delicious the lack of authenticity has. I thing to do with the fact that he is white. Personally I like my Barbacoa traditional and I like it greasy! With onions and cilantro. It’s all a matter of taste. That said it is absolutely rediculous to use cheddar cheese on Barbacoa… And yes I do make it at home on Sundays a bit like my grandmother did on Sundays 😊
Authentic or not, this recipe was easy and had excellent flavor. Mine wasn't very spicy, though. I also used pork sirloin instead of beef, and it still cooked up great & shredded easily. I used it for inauthentic tacos, inauthentic enchiladas, and inauthentic machaca, and they were all amazing!
Thanks for the recipe!
Good recipe but what is the true essential to Texas barbacoa is beef cheek…in Mexico they use lamb or goat but the traditional texmex is always beef cheek, it's such an amazing piece of meet and truly can't be substituted if you want to make amazing barbacoa.
