Tart cherry juice is one of my favorite drink add-ins. But I decided to use it in a recipe this time around.

The tart fruity flavor of the juice goes perfectly with the spicy chipotles. This barbacoa beef is great in tacos, burrito bowls, on salads, nachos or in sandwiches. I used it in the best party food, Barbacoa Sliders!
