Smoked and braised beef cheek is the star of these decadent barbacoa tortas. Shreds of juicy, spice-infused beef are nestled between fluffy rolls with refried beans, cotija cheese, avocado, and more toppings for a sandwich to write home about. About the cut: Beef cheeks come from the cow’s dense, strong facial muscles, making them a hearty, flavorful cut of meat that becomes wonderfully tender when properly cleaned and cooked. This recipe was created by our partner Lauren Nagel of Bon Appeteach who made the dish on our Bronco Pro Drum Smoker, but you can make it on your grill or smoker.
