The first time I served these wrap sandwiches was at the party after my son’s baptism. Everyone liked them so much that it’s become one of my go-to party recipes. —Amy Lents, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (2 to 3 pounds), halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 flour or whole wheat tortillas (8 inches)
Optional toppings: Torn romaine, chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado and sour cream

Directions

Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper; place in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Top with onion, jalapeno and garlic. In a small bowl, mix tomato sauce, water, lime juice, chili powder, cumin and cayenne; pour over roast. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 50 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. A thermometer inserted in beef should read at least 145°.
Remove roast; cool slightly. Shred meat with 2 forks; return to pressure cooker. Serve beef on tortillas with toppings of your choice. Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture and juices in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
