"This tender and flavorful dish is perfect for rolling up in a tortilla and topping with sour cream and guacamole. The beef is tender with a smoky flavor from the chipotle chilies, they are a key ingredient. This delicious dish can also be served over rice, as a filling for enchiladas or for making a big pile of the best nachos on earth. Just cover with cheese and bake for a few minutes, then top with your favorite goodies."
