Tex-Mex Beef Barbecue Sandwiches

This was dinner tonight - first time I'd made it, but it's DEFINITELY going in our rotation of favorites! SUPER yummy, way easy!! The house smelled great when I got home from work! I didn't have a brisket, so I used a rump roast, and that worked great. My roast was relatively fat free, so I didn't have a lot to trim off which was nice. The sauce was a perfect combo of tangy, smoky and spicy. I think this would make great pulled pork sandwiches as well - using a pork loin (which are REALLY inexpensive at Cash & Carry by the way) or pork roast. I'll have to try that next time! I used onion rolls with this and they were perfect! Can't wait to eat this for lunch again tomorrow!! :)

**I've made this several more times since March, and we love it every time!!!
