shredded beef

I love my local library. Sometimes, while waiting for my husband, I meander up the (huge) cookbook aisle. I found this book, Mexican for Dummies, and just had to borrow it. We decided to try burritoes -- except every ingredient was a recipe in itself! It was such a production that I invited the AmeriCorps guy at work to help us eat / make it -- and it became a once-a-month dinner with all of my AmeriCorps people! This is one of the recipe's that I kept from that endeavor.
