I always like the challenge of make a copy-cat recipe from a restaurant and seeing how closely the finished products compares. I wasn't planning on making this dinner idea a blog post but once I tasted the beef as I was shredding it, I could not resist. So that will explain why I don't have my normal picture of all the ingredients. Just snapped a few pics of the final thing. My husband & I love Chipotle and this recipe was absolutely fabulous! I used Eye of Round Beef Roast, and the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce gives it the nice smokey flavor (you can find these peppers in the Mexican section of your grocery store, they are canned). Since you only use 3-4 peppers, depending on the size of you meat, I froze the rest in a small tupperware. What I did so that it would be convienent for next time, I layered parchment paper between 3-4 peppers so that I would not have to defrost all the peppers, just the portion I needed. What I like about this food.com version of the recipe was that I was able to tweak the serving size until it showed the weight of the size of meat I bought, so that I would make the appropriate amount of marinade. They call for a piece of meat that is too big for my family, and since I had a 2.5lb piece, I tweaked it to 4 srvgs and it worked perfectly. It also works the other way if you have a larger piece or making this for a party!
So here is the link & enjoy:

I also had a side of white rice splashed with lime juice, cilantro and corn.
