Directions

  1. Combine vinegar, lime juice, chipotle peppers in adobo, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, and cloves in a blender or food processor. Process on high until adobo sauce is smooth.

  2. Trim most of the fat from the roast and cut meat into 3-inch chunks.

  3. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

  4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook on all sides until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer seared meat to a Dutch oven and pour adobo sauce on top. Pour in chicken broth and add bay leaves.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, about 6 hours.

  6. Discard bay leaves. Shred meat in the juices using 2 forks. Return to the oven and cook 30 minutes more.

Recipe Note

I have always loved the barbacoa at Chipotle® and tried to duplicate it at home. This is an excellent comfort food. Wrap it in a tortilla with black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and guacamole and it is heaven.
