Cooking Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in the tomato sauce and spices overnight before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier version, add some diced jalapenos or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
To save time, you can use a slow cooker instead of a pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Leftover shredded beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

Store any leftover shredded beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, simply warm the beef in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
Serve the Ropa Vieja Tacos with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese.
