Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
• Cut the roast in small strips (fajita style), and brown it in a hot pan.
• While the meat is browning shred the cheese, slice the tomatoes, chop the green pepper, and dice the onion.
• After meat is browned, drain off any fat and add taco seasoning along with a half cup of water. Bring up to a simmer.
• Once everything is prepared, lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish and layer ingredients starting with tortillas, then a layer of meat, followed by the tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. Repeat layering, reserving the cheese for the top.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes Remove foil and continue to bake uncovered for additional 15 mins, until cheese just begins to brown.
• You could also add a can of bean (black beans or pinto) as an additional layer if you wish. I would have included in the recipe but I don't happen to have any on hand.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Stem and seed the chiles and place in a pot with beef stock over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently to reconstitute (see Cook's Note).
• Heat a large Dutch oven with a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat, and add the bacon to the pan and stir until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon. Pat the meat dry, season with a little salt and lots of black pepper, then add to the bacon drippings and brown evenly to caramelize the meat. Brown the meat in 2 batches if necessary in order not to crowd the pan. Remove the meat and add another drizzle of oil, if necessary. Add the onions, and garlic and soften a few minutes. Stir in the cumin, coriander, cocoa, cinnamon, and cloves, and stir to toast the spices and combine. Deglaze the pan with beer and evaporate.
• In a food processor, puree the softened peppers and stock with tomatoes. Pour into the pot, slide the browned meat and bacon back in, and drizzle in the honey. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven for 2 1/2 hours or until the meat falls apart with a fork. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat and add the lime juice just before serving.
• Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro leaves, and serve with tortillas or rice and warm black beans.

• Let cool 30 minutes in cooking liquid.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons cooking liquid for salad dressing and save remainder, refrigerated, for a Southweswtern soup or stew.
• Pull meat apart into shreds.
• (The dish can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated 1 or 2 days. Before proceeding, warm foil-wrapped meat in oven.) To make dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine reserved brisket liquid, chipotles, olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, ketchup, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and purée.
• To complete salad: In a bowl, mix brisket with about 3/4 of the dressing.
• Transfer brisket to a serving platter or bowl and toss it lightly with tomatoes, avocados, onion, cheese and cilantro.
• Drizzle additional dressing over top, enough to make the mixture moist.
• Garnish with radish roses if desired.

Steps:

• Cover, and cook on High until the meat begins to fall apart, about 8 hours. Add water if needed to keep the roast from drying out.
• Turn the slow cooker to Low, and remove meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the meat to the slow cooker; cook about 20 minutes to reheat before serving.

Steps:

• Place an even layer of tater tots in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet. Top with half of the beef. Sprinkle a layer of cheese. Repeat layering of tater tots, beef, and cheese.
• Lower oven temperature to 375ºF (160°C). Place skillet in oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Remove from oven and top with red onion, scallions, and tomatoes. Add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole to the center of the skillet. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Stir the chipotle paste, garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and flour in with the onions and cook for a couple of mins. Gradually add the stock, stirring all the time, so it's fully mixed in with the other ingredients. Add the tomatoes and oregano, season and simmer for 10 mins.
