Method

  1. 1 Boil the beef shank with onions and salt for 80 minutes, then let it cool in the broth for 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Tear the meat into shreds using two forks and reserve 200 ml of the broth.
  3. 3 Roast the tomatoes and garlic in a dry pan for 8 minutes until the skins are charred black, then blend them with the chipotle peppers.
  4. 4 Grilling the tomatoes before blending creates a smoky flavor, while blending fresh tomatoes results in a sauce that is both tart and mild.
  5. 5 Sauté the sauce in hot oil for 6 minutes until it thickens and darkens in color.
  6. 6 Simmer the shredded meat in broth with oregano for 20 minutes, then serve on a tortilla with butter.
