     is bursting with flavor and fully loaded with chunky tomatoes Best Ever Chicken Tortilla Soup


    Living in Arizona for 15 years I have developed a deep love for southwestern flavors.  When it comes to soup I don't think there is a soup more suited to the southwest than Chicken Tortilla Soup.  Classic ingredients of this Mexican inspired soup are some of my favorites.


    For starters this recipe includes 3 types of corn.  Kernel corn, hominy and corn tortilla strips on top.  With a base like that you know it has to be good.  Selected smokey spices and fresh chicken and jalapenos help create a fabulous base for the petite tomatoes, black beans and red bell peppers.

    homemade guacamole.  After which time I thought what a great idea to top the soup with guacamole.  Well, it is fabulous. Although Chad will take his without the guacamole.

      Chipotle Barbacoa Recipe (Copycat) w/ Video

      Chipotle barbacoa recipe is the Mexican barbecue of my dreams. With this amazing copycat crockpot recipe, it can be a reality for you, too!

       With this amazing copycat crockpot recipe Chipotle Barbacoa Recipe (Copycat) w/ Video 
      Seared beef is slow cooked in a spectacular spicy adobo sauce and combination of flavors that create the perfect moist and tender Mexican shredded beef.

      Over the last few years I have created make at home versions for many of our favorite Chipotle recipes:


      Once again, I began researching and taste testing to develop this copycat recipe.  When the dish was perfect, I hosted an awesome party and invited my friends to partake in a burrito bar starring our Chipotle's Copycat Barbacoa.


      What is Barbacoa?

      It's tender and moist seared beef, braised in an incredible blend of adobo, lime, cumin, garlic and oregano that come together to blow away any barbacoa you have ever tasted.

      Burritos loaded with pico de gallo, Chipotle's Cilantro Lime RiceGuacamole and barbacoa will be the star of any Mexican dinner party.

      Enjoy!


      Helpful tips for making crockpot barbacoa:

      1. Rinse the uncooked roast in cold water and pat dry. This helps keep the meat from steaming and allows it to sear so you get an amazing flavor and crisp coating on the outside of the roast.
      2. To prepare the sauce without a blender, mince the garlic and chipotle peppers.  Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.
      3. Do not use non-stick pans for searing. Cast iron or stainless steel are great alternates to the dutch oven.
      4. Sear the meat before placing it in the slow cooker. As a result, it adds another layer of flavor. While you can skip this step, I highly recommend taking the extra 15 minutes to do it. Trust me the flavor is worth it!
      EQUIPMENT FOR MAKING BARBACOA
      • Slow Cooker - the slow cooker is almost my most used kitchen appliance, especially during fall/winter! It's just so convenient, and lets face it, it makes comfort food taste even better!
      • Dutch oven - I love this set and use it all the time. It is perfect for roasts and I especially love it for my one-pot meals.
      • Tongs - I love this set of 3. I use every pair of them. They are so handy and grip amazingly well!

      Enjoy!

      With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

      Copycat Chipotle Barbacoa Recipe

      Seared beef is slow cooked in a spectacular spicy adobo sauce with a combination of flavors that create the perfect moist and tender Mexican shredded beef.
      prep time: 15 mins  cook time: 6 hours  total time: 6 hours and 15 mins

      Ingredients
      • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
      • 3-4 pound chuck roast, fat trimmed
      • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
      • 2 bay leaves
      Sauce
      • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
      • 6 cloves garlic
      • 4 teaspoons ground cumin
      • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
      • 1 teaspoons ground black pepper
      • 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
      • 4 chipotle peppers (from a can, packed in adobo sauce)
      • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle pepper can)
      • 1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon chicken base)
      • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

      Instructions

      1. Prepare roast.  Make sure all visible fat is trimmed.  Rinse the uncooked roast in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. This helps keep the meat from steaming and allows it to sear so you get an amazing flavor and crisp coating on the outside of the roast. Cut into 8 chunks.  Sprinkle all sides of cut beef with ½ of the salt (1 teaspoon), reserving the remaining 1 teaspoon.  Set aside.
      2. In a blender or food processor combine the sauce ingredients.  Blend until smooth.  Set aside.  If you do not have a food processor or blender, see cook’s note.
      3. Warm a Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat, until water dripped over top sizzles.  Add the oil. Sear all sides of cut beef.  Don’t skip this step. We are adding layers of flavor here. Once the roast is nicely seared with a good crust, remove it from the Dutch oven and place it in your slow cooker. Set slow cooker temperature to high.  Pour the blended  sauce over top. Add bay leaves. Cook for 5-6 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) covered.
      4. After about 5 hours (or 7 hours on low) shred beef using 2 forks to pull it apart.  Taste, and add additional teaspoon of salt (as needed), stir to completely coat in sauce.  Cover and cook for 1 more hour.  After this time you can serve and enjoy or turn slow cooker to warm until ready to serve.
      5. To create burrito:  Layer* pico de gallo, Chipotle’s Copycat Cilantro Lime Rice and Chipotle’s Copycat Barbacoa on a large flour tortilla.  Additional toppings of Chipotle’s Copycat Guacamole, sour cream and cheddar cheese are also exceptional. *Click on link for recipes
      6. Serve and enjoy!
      DONNA'S NOTES
      1. To prepare the sauce without a blender, mince the garlic and chipotle peppers.  Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.

      Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

      Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas are a luscious slow-cooked pork that is so soft and juicy, they melt in your mouth. Traditional Mexican cuisine would have you standing over a stove for hours, but who has that kind of time? This simple recipe is perfectly seasoned and creates tender meat with robust flavors.
      Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
      The secret is a quick sear on the stovetop to lock in all of those succulent flavors and juices. After that, it gets cooked in the slow cooker until it is fork-tender and truly melts in your mouth. I toss it in and on everything.

      So, back to this story...  It is absolutely amazing and I am sure you know why I had to make this recipe 8 times before we finally managed to get a photoshoot done. We just can't keep her hands off it!

      Actually, my family is so spoiled with good food. We really prefer to eat at home. I just do not find myself enjoying eating out anymore, it is just such a disappointment most of the time.

      I thought it was just me and then I started noticing my family had the same opinion. As a matter of fact when I was planning a little get together for my daughter's 1st-grade 'graduation', I thought we would have a little dinner out with my in-laws to mark the accomplishment.

      I asked Munchkin where she wanted to go. I named all of her 'favorite restaurants'. She looked at me with the sweetest eyes and said "Mommy can YOU cook dinner? I want your Mexican Rice Skillet".

      I am sure you know my heart grew 10 sizes that day (bursting with love and pride) and although we ended up going to dinner at a new restaurant that night, but you better believe I made her dinner that very next night.

      I imagine it is the regional influence, but my family leans toward Mexican flavors, especially my daughter. Southwestern, Tex-Mex and of course Sonoran (a region of Mexico that borders Arizona) influences have really inspired the dishes that come out of my kitchen.

      Growing up every celebration dinner featured Italian food, and I giggle inside as I think about my mom and dad coming to visit when my daughter was born and I had prepared "Mexican Lasagna". My dad was like "what the @$^& is Mexican Lasagna? Where's the pasta???" LOL.

      Anyway, back to my point... I really love the food at Chipotle Mexican Grill. It is my go-to on road trips. My favorite is the burrito salad. I love to pile the lettuce with pork carnitas, pinto beans, guacamole, cheese and a huge spoon of fresh salsa as my dressing. It is fresh, flavorful and it doesn't bloat me up. Because who wants to sit in the car when you feel like your jeans are going to pop open.

      So, when we are home and I am craving those spectacular burrito salads and Chad wants a burrito, I start recipe developing. I have created many of my favorite recipes from Chipotle and some other favorites. But, whenever we are having a party or on a game day get together a Chipotle Buffet usually wins out.

      The star of the show is this simple Pork Carnitas recipe. It is simply seasoned with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and bay. But, the flavor will knock your socks off.

      It starts off being seared on the stovetop to create a layer of flavor that will really shine through.  The searing browns the meat and creates this caramelized reaction and the flavor is unbeatable!

      Next, we transfer the pork to the crockpot and add in the remaining seasonings and deglaze the pan to scrape up all of the tasty brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pour the juices into the slow cooker and cook until the meat is fall-apart tender.

      You will enjoy this on and in so many dishes. It is great to make ahead and use in tacos, burritos, on a salad, and even on a sandwich. I love to make nachos with these carnitas too. No matter what you do with it, you are going to absolutely love this recipe.

      Helpful Tips to make Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas:

      • Do not use non-stick pans for searing. Cast iron or stainless steel are great alternates to the dutch oven.
      • You can use bone-in or boneless pork but watch your cook time.
      • Searing the meat before placing it in the slow cooker adds another layer of flavor. While you could skip this step, I highly recommend taking the extra 15 minutes and doing it. Trust me the flavor is worth it!
      • If making this with fresh rosemary sprigs, I place them on the bottom of the slow cooker and put the pork roast on top.

      What you will need to make Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas:

      • Dutch oven - I love this set and use it all the time. It is perfect for roasts and I especially love it for my one-pot meals.
      • Slow Cooker - the slow cooker is almost my most used kitchen appliance, especially during fall/winter! It's just so convenient, and let's face it, it makes the comfort food taste even better!

      Enjoy!

      With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

      Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

      Chipotle Copycat Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas are a luscious slow cooked pork that is so soft and juicy, they melt in your mouth. Traditional Mexican cuisine would have you standing over a stove for hours, but who has that kind of time? This simple recipe is perfectly seasoned and creates a tender meat with robust flavors.
      prep time: 15 minscook time: 6 hourtotal time: 6 hours and 15 mins

      Ingredients

      • 5-pound pork shoulder (also known as pork butt)
      • 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
      • 2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
      • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
      • 4 dried bay leaves
      • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary (or 3 large fresh rosemary sprigs)
      • 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
      • 1/2 cup water

      Instructions

      1. Rinse pork roast under cool water. Pat dry with a paper towel (do not skip this step, patting it dry helps create less steam and creates a better sear).
      2. Preheat a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place pork on a plate and sprinkle on all sides, with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully place pork in a Dutch oven (do not wait or the seasoning will begin to draw out moisture). Sear each side. Allow pork to sizzle in the pan without touching it for at least 2 minutes.
      3. The pork will naturally release from the pan once it is properly seared. If it is sticking to the bottom of the pan, it is most likely not seared yet. It will take 2-5 minutes per side. Reduce heat if the pan is getting too hot.
      4. Add bay leaves to the bottom of  your crockpot (I use a 6-quart slow cooker), place pork on top of bay leaves and carefully pour remaining cooking liquid from your Dutch oven over the pork. Add 1/2 cup water to Dutch oven, return to medium-high heat. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to scrape the stuck browned bits from the bottom. Once the mixture is boiling, pour it over the pork in the slow cooker. Sprinkle rosemary, thyme and remaining salt and pepper into the slow cooker and over the pork. Flip the pork once to season the other side.
      5. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours (alternately cook on low for 10-12 hours). When the pork is tender, use 2 forks to shred meat. Taste for seasoning, if necessary add salt to taste (mine did not need salt).
      6. Stir to coat pork in cooking liquid. Cover and cook for 30-60 minutes to help the pork absorb the juices. Serve and enjoy!

      DONNA'S NOTES

      1. Do not use non-stick pans for searing. Cast iron or stainless steel are great alternates to the dutch oven.
      2. You can use bone-in or boneless pork, but watch your cook time.
      3. Searing the meat before placing it in the slow cooker adds another layer of flavor. While you could skip this step, I highly recommend taking the extra 15 minutes and doing it. Trust me the flavor is worth it!
      4. If making this with fresh rosemary sprigs, I place them on the bottom of the slow cooker and put the pork roast on top.
