Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 to 3 cups leftover shredded pot roast Use as much as needed based on appetite.
8 to 12 pieces small corn tortillas Adjust number based on how full you like your tacos.
1 small onion, finely chopped
to taste chopped cilantro Fresh for topping.
1 piece lime, cut into wedges For squeezing over tacos.
to taste salsa or hot sauce For added flavor.
optional sliced radishes, cotija or crumbled cheese, sour cream, avocado Other toppings can be added as desired.

Method

Preparation

Reheat the shredded pot roast in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of the cooking juices or broth. Heat slowly to retain moisture.
Warm tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet, one at a time, and keep them stacked in a clean towel to stay soft.

Assembly

Lay out the tortillas and let everyone build their own tacos, starting with a tortilla, followed by a small amount of reheated meat, chopped onion, cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
Serve any extra toppings on the side.

Notes

For best results, shred the leftover roast while warm and save the juices to keep the meat moist. Use two tortillas for juicy fillings to prevent tearing. Customize toppings based on preference.
