Shredded Beef Taco Meat

This how my family makes taco meat. We prefer this to using ground beef.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

• 3 1⁄2 lbs beef brisket
• 2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 4  tablespoons  oil
• 1  large onion, finely chopped
• 1  head garlic, finely chopped
•  salt
•  pepper
• 1  tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1  tablespoon chili powder
• 3  whole habanero peppers

Directions

1. Trim beef brisket and cut into large cubes (1 1/2- 2 inches).
2. Heat oil in a pan.
3. Coat beef cubes in flour and sear in oil. Remove and place them into a large pot.
4. Add onions and garlic to oil. Brown them.
5. Pour all contents of pan (oil, onions, and garlic) into the pot of meat.
6. Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and whole habanero peppers. Mix and bring to a boil.
