Barbacoa means “barbecue” – it’s a dish, a flavor profile and a cooking style. In this version, we employ a slow cooker to render the beef very tender. The cooking liquid is a combo of tangy, savory, spicy and hot! It’s a beautiful combination of our Peach Balsamic, Barbacoa Blend, chiles, onions, garlic and citrus. It’s perfect for serving on tortillas with pico de gallo and sour cream.
