Taco Tuesday and there's left over sous vide/roast beef.  Making usual 6 tacos.

  • Take the beef out of the frig and thinly slice off 6 oz.  1 oz/taco.
  • Add enough of the juice the beef was soaking in just to moisten the meat.
  • Add about 1 T of chili powder and mix well.  
  • Transfer the mix to a ziplock sandwich bag and start heating to 140 F in the sous vide while getting everything else together.
  • Thinly slice some raw cabbage.  Enough to top the 6 tacos.
  • Cut up some tomatoes, if there are any.
  • grate some cheddar cheese. Again, enough to garnish the tacos.
  • crumble the desired amount of Cotija cheese for the final topping.
  • Lightly oil 6 corn tortillas.
  • Cook the tortillas 3 at a time on the griddle until brown spots formed but the tortilla still bends.
  • Place cooked tortillas in taco holder rack while cooking the other 3 tortillas.
  • Take the meat out of the sous vide and distribute to the 6 tacos.
  • sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the meat
  • add tomato and cabbage
  • add Mexican pickles, if they are available or a nice salsa
  • finish off with a sprinkling of the Cotija.
  • serve
