Easy and delicious. Grilled the pepper and onion instead of frying, for added flavor and quicker cleanup. Thanks for sharing.

I've haven't tried these. However, I have cooked Mexican style shredded beef and if you're going to add beer, it has to be a Mexican beer such as Corona. I suggest you specify that in your recipe because Mexican beer is the key to any Mexican style recipe that calls for beer.

Sorry for this so-so review, but I followed these directions exactly and we couldn't taste much of anything but the Coor's which gave a very funky almost spoiled flavor to the meat. I think I'll try it again and find a substitute for the beer. Thanks for giving me the idea to try a flank steak cut of meat.It was quite tender after being grilled.
