MEXICAN SHREDDED BEEF

1 TBSP + 2 TSP chili powder

1 TBSP cumin

1 TBSP oregano

1 TBSP salt + salt for seasoning meat

Pepper to taste

2 TBSP ghee, avocado, or coconut oil

1 jar (16 oz crushed tomatoes - I love @jovial)

1 cup diced onion or shallot

3-5 cloves minced garlic

Turn your instant pot on sauté mode and add your fat of choice. Season the chuck roast with 2 tsp chili powder (1 tsp per side), salt, and pepper. Sear meat on both sides then set aside. Add in onion and garlic and sauté until slightly tender. Add in jar of crushed tomatoes, 1 TBSP chili powder, 1 TBSP cumin, 1 TBSP oregano, and 1 TBSP salt. Mix everything together then add back in the chuck roast and cover with the tomato mixture. Put lid on and set to sealing. Set IP to pressure cook for 1 hour (or 25-30 minutes per pound of meat. Let come down to pressure naturally. Then remove and shred beef. Pour some of the cooking liquid over top.

Jalapeño Lime Sweet Potato Rice

1 TBSP grass-fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil.

1 shallot or 1/2 a small onion

2 cloves of garlic

1 seeded jalapeño (add some seeds in if you want that heat)

2 small/medium sweet potatoes

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1 lime juiced

Start by sautéing shallot, garlic, and jalapeño. While that is cooking, spiralize some sweet potatoes. Then add that into the onion, garlic, and jalapeño mixture. Continue to sauté. Add a splash of broth or water and cover lid. Once noodles are tender, use a spoon to break up the sweet potato to turn into “rice”. Turn off heat and add in some cilantro and lime juice.

Spicy Avocado Sauce

1 medium/ large avocado

1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1/8th-1/4 cup of fresh lime juice

1/4th cup filtered water

1/3 cup of cilantro

Jalapeño - amount depends on how spicy you want it. Add a bit and adjust to your palette! Avoid seeds if you don’t want it too spicy

🧄1-2 cloves of garlic

1/2 tsp of salt (or to taste)

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
