SHREDDED BEEF CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Place beef in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Pour in water. Cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Remove cover, and cook until liquid has evaporated, and beef is well browned, about 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine beef broth, red wine vinegar, chili powder and cumin. Pour over beef. Cover, and cook until meat is very tender, and pulls apart easily, about 2 hours. Allow to cool, then shred and mix with pan juices.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter. Spoon shredded beef filling down center of each tortilla. Fold ends over filling, then fold sides to center to make a packet. Place chimichangas, seam side down, in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa.

SHREDDED CHILI-BEEF FILLING

Steps:

• Trim visible fat from roast and tie it with string to hold the meat together.
• In a large (at least 5 quart) pot or Dutch oven,, mix the beef, 1 cup of water and the bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium low.
• Cover and simmer for half an hour, turning the beef twice.
• While the beef simmers, mix the broth, vinegar, chili powder, garlic, cumin and oregano.
• Uncover the pot, increase the heat to high, and boil for 5 minutes.
• The liquid in the pot will reduce to about two tablespoons of a thick, glazed sauce.
• Turn the meat with a fork to coat.
• Add the spice and broth mixture to the pot, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
• Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, turning the meat twice.
• Add the onions and tomatoes.
• Cover and simmer 1 hour more, or until the meat is fork tender and shreds easily.
• Remove the pot from the heat.
• Take out the meat and put it on a big cutting board.
• Cover it with foil and let it stand for 45 minutes so it gets cool enough to handle.
• While the meat's cooling, skim the fat from the sauce and remove the bay leaves.
• Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, and boil it for about 15 minutes-- or until it's reduced by almost half.
• Take the pot off the heat.
• Now, back to the beef.
• Using your fingers or two forks, pull it into bite-sized shreds.
• Stop sneaking bites!
• Add the meat and green chilies to the sauce in the pot.
• Stir until the meat is evenly moistened.
