Barbacoa Beef Wraps



This dish is so easy to make, you just throw it all in the slow cooker and wait!! I have used romaine lettuce leaves instead of wraps, which makes it less synful and you get a lot more super free. You can top the meat with anything you like, i only used coriander, chilli and yogurt, but you could use peppers, refined beans, cheese, salsa, avocado, but remember to syn the things that aren't free!!
The whole dish is 2 syns, but it served 4/6.



Ingredients

3lb braising steak cut into 2 inch chunks
4 garlic cloves
1 onion
2 tbsp chipotle paste 2 syns
juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp cider vinegar
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 cloves
200ml beef stock

Method

In a blender blitz the onion and garlic until smooth with a tbsp of water.
Mix all the ingredients together then put into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
When the meat is cook shred it in the slow cooker and let it cook for 10 more minutes so it absorbs the juices. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon so it is not too wet in the wrap.

  1. Thank you, I made the beef yesterday and was unable to grocery shop but I made it today into a fried rice dish, It was delicious. The beef was so flavoured that all I did was used boiled rice,a small drain of the juice I saved and added the beef shredded. Did not look brilliant but it was divine. Will be making it again, I did not use the
    2 tbsp chipolata paste (2 syns)
    2 tbsp cider vinegar I will add peppers (for colour) and a bit of ginger next time So it was syn free
