Mexican Roast

I'm a sucker for a slow cooked roast.  You know, LOW & SLOW.  Throw it all together and let it go in the oven for a few hours.  You've taken an inexpensive, slightly tougher piece of meat and turned it into a thing of beauty.  I'm also a sucker for Mexican flavors.  With ANYTHING.  You could slow roast a Mexican shoe and I would probably eat it.  Especially anything with green chiles.  This roast packs a lot of flavor and is wonderful served with green chile mashed potatoes.  Be sure a spoon a little of the "jus" on top.  Ole!

Mexican Roast...Mmmmmm...

The Mexican Roast "Fiesta"

Sear roast on both sides. 
I seasoned it with salt and pepper too. 
I season everything with salt and pepper.
You should to, whether I tell you in the recipe or
not. :)

Combine the bouillon with hot water. 
Mix in remaining ingredients and pour over roast. 
Cover and cook for 1 hour.  Turn roast over and cook
an additional 1 to 2 hours.

Lookin' Good!

Serve alongside Green Chile Mashed Potatoes
