Shredded Beef for Tacos
"This makes the best shredded beef tacos I think I've ever had. A lot of similar recipes call for beer, but I'm telling you...you GOTTA try it with the wine; it's amazing. This works just as well with pork (even super lowfat pork tenderloin). When we can afford a few extra calories in our diet (ha!), I like to stuff corn tortillas with the mixture and deep fry...they're seriously insane. I got this recipe from Allrecipes.com a few years ago and haven't made a single modification; it's perfect as is. Enjoy :-)"

It was really good. I'll try it a second and see if I want to upgrade this to 5 stars.

<p>I never realized how easy it is to create restaraunt-quality dishes at home until I lived with my grandparents over one of my summer breaks from college. As soon as I got my first apartment (a year or so later), I started cooking and have been addicted ever since! I like to challenge myself with new ingredients and techniques. I'm big on research, and will spend hours learning the how to's of new ideas ahead of time, because there's nothing more depressing than making a disappointing meal! <br /><br />I've taken it upon myself to be in charge of Thanksgiving dinner for the past 5 years (I'm 27 now)...I enjoy the challenge, and think I put together a pretty darn good spread! :) <br /><br />My fiance and I both LOVE to eat good food, but although we won't deny ourselves some wings and a beer now and again, we try to eat pretty healthfully on a day-to-day basis.</p>
