This recipe combines the rich smoky flavors of traditional barbacoa with a cheesy topping and buttery biscuits for an irresistible meal. At the heart of this dish is succulent beef chuck roast, slow cooked in a blend of fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle chiles, and a medley of spices. You won’t be able to resist going for seconds.
The pressure cooker is essential for achieving the melt-in-your-mouth beef in the fraction of the time it would take with traditional braising methods. Top it with fresh garnishes like chopped cilantro, chopped onions, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness and freshness. This recipe also pairs wonderfully with rice or a crisp salad. You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
