Here is the way I like to make Mexican barbacoa at home. I put all of my ingredients in the Crock Pot overnight and wake up to tender fall apart barbacoa. As a kid, I remember waiting in a line out the door at our neighborhood Mexican meat market for fresh corn tortillas, menudo and barbacoa. You can make barbacoa tacos dresses with your favorite salsa, fresh onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime for the perfect breakfast taco.
INGREDIENTS
2 bls beef cheek meat (stew meat or beef tongue work too)
2 tsp salt (1 1/2 tsp if using fine table salt)
2 to 3 cloves fresh garlic
2 bay leaves
1/2 small onion
5 to 8 drops of liquid smoke (optional)
2 tbls water (optional - to combine with liquid smoke)
CROCK POT
amzn.to/2vU4ZWX
Crock Pot
Cook overnight on LOW for 12 hours
OR cook on HIGH for 8 hours

Omg!!! I am a taco addict. I fell in love with Barbacoa the first time I had it. I didn’t know what it was, I just knew it was tender, shredded beef. Ever since then, I’ve always looked for it on menus at different taquerias. None have been as good as the first place. Then I stumbled across this video and have been eyeing it ever since. But I didn’t pay attention to the packaging in the video and just assumed the recipe would be expensive. I finally went and bought the ingredients for like $10 at a Mexican grocery store (beef cheek is harder to find in the Detroit, MI area). I followed your recipe (almost) exactly. I added a sprinkle of adobo and I had to add water as it was cooking because my meat didn’t produce enough liquid. But still, THIS WAS THE BEST BARBACOA EVER!!! It was just as good, if not better, than the restaurant I get it from. I just made this yesterday and I’m already thinking about making it this weekend because I didn’t get enough meat. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I will be trying more recipes. (Sorry for the long comment. I’m just so overjoyed)

I bought beef cheeks and lengua to bring home. So I now need to rewatch this to make barbacoa.

Barbacoa everyday for breakfast is the best way to start the day. A street taco truck parks in my favorite grocery store AND every time I'm in town i get all the barbacoa meat she has for breakfast for my daily taco fix. She also makes this green sauce that is out of this world and is sounds just like yours. Now I just have to find beef cheeks in this part of Texas to make it myself. I have seen another one of your videos that you used chunks of beef to make barbacoa I might have to resort to that choice myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the best food recipes online.

I agree. I'm technically in Pasadena but on the line with Houston & Clear Lake. I'm surrounded by great meat markets.

Great video! Growing up in Chicago in the 60's my father on Sunday mornings would drive down to Maxwell Street to bring home 3-4 lbs. of fresh Barbacoa for the whole family to feast on! I remember how great it tasted in tacos. Can't wait to try your recipe! Thank You!!

every mexican american in Texas i know only use a cows head wrap in foil or oven bags put in oven at 250 for 6 hours been making it for over 50 years now 68 if you like use onion, cilantro, dice tomato or use chunky salsa from walmart after cooking it use flour or corn tortillas. Barbacoa is mostly a breakfast taco dish.

My mom used to work at the Matamoros Meat Market on Irvington back in the day, that's where she met my dad and I always drive by Gerardo's on my way to work but just didn't know if they still sold barbacoa. Will need to stop by! Thank you for this recipe, am trying this tonight with two beef cheeks I just got from HEB.

Oh goodness. I’m craving this so bad! Matamoros was where we used to hit when we still lived in Houston. After we moved to Alvin we would get homemade barbacoa. We lived on a farm in Alvin, mostly chickens but an occasional pig and larger animals for cooking. I’m 52, but the memories are like yesterday.
