How to Make

  • Step 1: Tear chiles into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Cover with hot water and let sit until softened, at least 20 minutes. Drain.

  • Step 3: Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add brisket and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Pour the chile sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer.

  • Step 4: Cover, transfer to the oven and bake for 2 hours. Stir in beans and continue baking until the meat is fall-apart tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.

  • Step 5: Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Slice accross the grain using an electric knife or pull apart into long shreds using two forks. Stir the sliced or shredded meat back into the sauce.
