CHIPOTLE'S BARBACOA COPYCAT RECIPE RECIPE - FOOD.COM

Chipotle's Barbacoa Copycat Recipe Recipe - Food.com image

That's right now you can make barbacoa as good as Chipotle's at home! Perfecting this recipe started as a bet... while my husband Scott and his good friend Steve were enjoying one of their many grad school barbacoa lunches from Chipotle, Steve made the comment, "I don't think even Jan could make it this good." Oh, the challenge was on! I searched the web and found several recipes claiming to be the real deal but I decided to base mine off a copycat recipe I found on Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipes. So how did it come out? Let's just say Steve ate his words and several of these burritos :) Heads up, you'll need a crockpot for this one.

Total Time 6 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 6 hours

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
4 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
4 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoons lime juice

4 -5 lbs chuck roast

Steps:

To make the adobo sauce combine vinegar, limejuice, chipotles, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt and cloves in a blender or processor on high speed until smooth.
Remove most of the fat from the roast and then cut into large chunks (approximately 6).
Pour oil into a frying pan and sear all sides of roast on medium-high heat until browned.
Place meat into Crockpot and pour adobo sauce over meat.
Pour in the chicken broth and add bay leaves.
Cook on high heat 6 hours or on low all day.
While still in the Crockpot, shred the meat with two forks and turn the heat to warm. Serve with hard or soft tortilla shells when ready.
Typical sides include tortillas, rice, black or pinto beans, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
Don’t forget to make my 5 Minute Guacamole to go with it.

Chipotle Barbacoa Recipe | ChefDeHome.com image

Chipotle Barbacoa, a classic pull-apart tender meat barbacoa slow cooked with smokey chipotle chilies, and flavorful mix of sweet and spicy marinade! Loaded with ton of flavor, this meat main course is must try once in lifetime!
You know what? Today, I have made this traditional Mexican Barbacoa recipe everyday kitchen approved!
<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;min-height: 250px;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6316610776672658" data-ad-slot="2981660712"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>
Simply dust your slow cooker, get delicious Mexican babracoa ingredients, and your favorite shoulder roast meat (I used lamb).. and this comforting main course will be the best homemade BBQ ever! Pull apart tender, juicy, sweet, spicy with smokey kick of chipotle. All of this without a messy fire-pit, fancy BBQs, or agave leaves!
Oh, and don't worry if you don't want to use slow cooker. I'm also including Oven method of cooking!
So, let's make Chipotle Barbacoa!
Do you know word BBQ is derived from Latin word "Barbacoa"? Barbacoa is the traditional way of slow cooking meat until it is pull apart tender, and has a layer of smoky flavor. Often sugar and heat of chilies are two main ingredients in any kind of barbecue or barbacoa. This Chipotle Barbacoa is no different. It has sweetness of agave, smoke and heat of chipotle chilies with pull-apart tender texture!
I promised you, we are going Mexican this week! And it's all about Chipotle! I mean, literally! Everything I'm sharing this week is famous for Chipotle chilies and is inspired from Chipotle Mexican Grill's recipes. Chipotle Sofritas, Chipotle Salsa, Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice are few of my old personal favorite.
<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;min-height: 250px;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6316610776672658" data-ad-slot="8107393682"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>
This recipe is inspired from barbacoa recipe of chipotle. Only difference is, I decided to use Lamb instead. Lamb is traditional barbacoa meat and it stays more moist and flavorful when slow cooked.
To make Barbacoa, I start by making the chipotle marinade.
The main ingredients for barbacoa marinade are Chipotle with adobo sauce, ancho chilies, sugar, lemon, cumin, garlic, and oil. It takes just 5 minutes to blend a batch of sauce. I discard the seeds from dry chilies and add all of the these ingredients to food processor. Few quick pulses and chipotle barbeque marinade is ready!
Authentic Mexican barbacoa is prepared in fire-pits where marinated meat (mostly lamb) is wrapped in agave leaves and slow cooked until meat is pull-apart tender. I had no resources to find agave leaves, so I added a little hint of agave syrup in marinade for some sweetness and subtle flavor.
I borrowed suggestion from Rick Bayless's Barbacoa Recipe and added some beer to marinade. OMG! The flavor it added was amazing! Barbacoa at chipotle may not have beer but it was our favorite in this barbacoa recipe. Vishal has asked me to prepare it three times since. I'm telling you! This barbacoa recipe is a keeper! (Thanks Rick Bayless for pro tip!)
So, before meat goes to slow cooker, I pan-sear it until lamb is brown and little crusty from all sides. Browning enhances the favor of meat when slow cooking. Please don't skip this step. I used shoulder roast of 3 pound boneless lamb. When lamb is seared in pan, it renders down outer layer of fat. I added a tablespoon of that flavorful liquid collected in the pan into the slow cooker and discarded rest. (You can even reserve it to cook some omelette or hash browns for breakfast.)
<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;min-height: 250px;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6316610776672658" data-ad-slot="5772874383"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>
Slow Cooker Method:
Once main three ingredients - pan-seared lamb, chipotle marinade, and beer meet in slow cooker... my job is over and slow cooker gets to work. 5.5 hours on high and lamb is pull-apart tender, moist, literally melt-in-mouth-tender.. Plus loaded with flavor.! Vishal was home from work by the time lamb was ready. He ate 2 tacos just while I was shredding the meat. Go figure! :)
Can you believe this homemade recipe for barbacoa needs less active time than going to Chipotle's and ordering?!
Just 20 minutes active prep time! Season the lamb, pan sear it. While lamb is going, mix the marinade. Combine everything in slow cooker and done! That's it!
How does that sound? Easy-pezzy!!
Plus everyday kitchen approved! Isn't it? Prepare it for labor day get-together, serve it for taco Tuesday, or save the recipe for a cozy weeknight dinner! This chipotle barbacoa will be 'The Star' on every occassion! I can promise you that!
Plus look at the amount of money saved! Recipe doubles or triples easily! Barbacoa at chipotle will cost you $10-20 for 2. At home in $20-$25 you can feed family of 4+ with hearty meat and rice kinda servings! Plus can save some leftovers for barbacoa tacos or breakfast burrito! Yumm!
Dutch Oven Method:
If you don't own a slow cooker or just because you don't want to.. here is the method to prepare Chipotle Barbacoa in oven, in a heavy bottom vessel such as dutch oven.
<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;min-height: 250px;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6316610776672658" data-ad-slot="4502835377"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>
After marinade is ready, heat oil in dutch oven. Add seasoned lamb and sear it until brown from all sides.
After lamb is pan-seared, remove from dutch oven, discard half of the liquid collected at bottom. Add in marinade, beer with 2 cups of water. Bring to rolling boil, cover it with tight lid. Cook on stove top at medium-low for 2 hours or until lamb is pull-apart tender. Once lamb is done, remove in a plate. Bring any remaining liquid to rolling boil and cook until it is thick to your liking. Mix in shredded meat, garnish with red onion, serve salsa on side! Enjoy Chipotle Barbacoa even without slow cooker!

CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL BARBACOA BURRITO COPYCAT RECIPE

Menu Description: "Spicy, shredded beef, braised with our own chipotle adobo, cumin, cloves, garlic and oregano." The original Mexican dish barbacoa was traditionally prepared by cooking almost any kind of meat goat, fish, chicken, or cow cheek meat, to name just a few, in a pit covered with leaves over low heat for many hours, until tender. When the dish made its way into the United States via Texas the word transformed into "barbecue" and the preparation changed to incorporate above-ground techniques such as smoking and grilling. The good news is that we can recreate the beef barbacoa that Chipotle has made popular on its ginormous burritos without digging any holes in our backyard or tracking down a local source for fresh cow faces. After braising about 30 pounds of chuck roasts, I finally discovered the perfect Chipotle Mexican Grill barbacoa burrito copycat recipe with a taste-alike adobo sauce that fills your roast with flavor as it slowly cooks to a fork-tender delicacy on your stovetop over 5 to 6 hours. Part of the secret for great adobo sauce is toasting whole cumin seeds and cloves and then grinding them in a coffee grinder (measure the spices after grinding them). Since the braising process takes so long, start early in the day and get ready for a big dinner, because I've also included clones here for Chipotle's pico de gallo, pinto beans, and delicious cilantro-lime rice to make your burritos complete. You can add your choice of cheese, plus guacamole and sour cream for a super-deluxe clone version. If you prefer chicken burritos, head on over to my clone recipe for Qdoba Grilled Adobo Chicken.
