Ingredients:  
1 1/2 kg beef
5 cloves of garlic
1/2 medium onion
1/2 lime, juice
2-4 chipotles in adobo sauce (to taste)
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
salt and pepper
3 bay leaves
1 tsp. oil
1 c. water
Directions:
Directions:
Place garlic, onion, lime juice, cumin, oregano, chipotles, and cloves in the blender. Trim all the fat off meat, cut into 4 inch chunks. Season with salt and pepper and brown on high heat in 1 tsp. oil on all sides for about 5 minutes. Add liquified spices, water, bay leaves and simmer on low for 2 hours in a pressure cooker. (If you are not using a pressure cooker, double the cooking time to at least 4 hours, adding more water from time to time to make sure it doesn't dry out.) Once cooked and the meat is tender, remove the meat and place in a dish. Shred it with two forks, and reserve the liquid for later (discard bay leaves). Return the shredded meat to the pot, adjust salt and cumin to taste and add some reserved liquid back. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes to let the flavors penetrate. Makes great beef tacos or burrito bowls.
