For a richer flavor, try using fire-roasted diced tomatoes. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your preferred level of spice. Shred the steak with two forks for a more authentic shredded beef texture. Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese. For a vegetarian option, substitute the shaved steak with crumbled tofu or black beans.
