Chipotle braised beef cheek tacos

Trim excess fat and connective tissue from the beef cheeks with a knife; season with salt and pepper.

Brown the cheeks in a pan until golden on all sides.

Add crushed whole garlic cloves and a quartered onion to the pot of beef, then paprika, canned chipotle peppers, fresh cilantro, cumin and canned tomatoes.

Cover with water and simmer about three to four hours.

When fully cooked, shred the cheeks into large chunks to keep some structure.

Reduce the sauce by about half; taste and adjust the seasoning.

Slice avocado thin, warm corn tortillas until steaming, and fill with the braised beef cheeks topped with the spicy braising sauce.
