2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup craft beer (choose a stout or porter for best flavor)
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 small corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Season the beef with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Add the beef to the pot, browning it on all sides for about 8-10 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, pour in the craft beer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate all the flavorful bits.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 2 hours on low heat, or until the beef is fork-tender.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. You can either leave it in the cooking liquid for added flavor or strain the beef and reserve the liquid for drizzling later.
Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or over an open flame for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble your tacos by placing a generous amount of the braised beef on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

And there you have it! A fantastic dish that brings together the joy of cooking and the deep flavors of craft beer. Enjoy these tacos at your next dinner party, or savor them during a cozy night in. Happy cooking!
