Dia Uno, Dos, Tres or Three Day Tacos,I found this recipe in Sunset many years ago, submitted by someone from Tucson. I have many thousands of recipes on file, but this must rank in my Top Ten favorites. My warmest thanks, mystery Tucson person!! (I’ve always chuckled over the “25” olives, but it’s in the original recipe as such.) The filling works in chimichangas, enchiladas, taco shells or flour tortillas. Store it in the freezer for instant summer meals or for drop in guests. (In emergencies, I’ve been known to cheat and make the recipe in only TWO days, but I always count the olives!),Sorry. I followed this to the letter and it was not good. First of all, the meat was not even close to tender, so I cooked it another hour, covered. Still not tender, so I cooked it another 45 minutes. I could shred it, but it was still not super tender and had very little flavor. I ended up giving it a quick pulse in the food processor. Now I am going to have to doctor up a little of the sauce with a good dose of salt, onion powder, garlic powder and cumin to get some decent flavor going. You can’t have this much meat and broth and beer and only “salt to taste”. I’m sure the olives would have added a bit of salt, but I’m going to save my olives and corn for another use. I just hope I can doctor this up enough to salvage it for tacos tonite. I don’t like to give a bad review, but this was not cheap to make.,This recipe is worth waiting three days for!! We loved it 🙂 We served it in corn tortillas with fresh cilantro springs, sour cream, cheese and onions. We also had some to freeze for future meals. Thanks for sharing San Marcos Sunshine.
