Directions
Heat a large pot over high heat. Melt the butter and heat the olive oil. Add the perfect sweet onions and sauté, stirring occasionally until caramelized. Remove the onions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the red hatch powder and the next 5 ingredients. Rub the mixture all over the roast. With the pot on high heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot and add the roast. Sear it on all sides. Add the onions back to the pot. Add the canned tomatoes and the next 6 ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered for 2 hours or until very tender.
Once the meat is done, when cool enough to handle, shred the meat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a skillet over high heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream and milk. Add half of the meat to the skillet and stir in the egg mixture. Stir and cook until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
To make the tacos, warm a tortilla over a burner and add some of the meat mixture. Top with the tomatoes, cilantro and salsa. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Recipe Note
You will have extra machaca (meat) so freeze it for future use such as burritos, nachos, etc.
