1

Season the chuck steaks on both sides with chili powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chuck steaks in the hot oil in batches until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer them to a slow cooker.
3

Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add 2 green onions and the garlic; cook and stir until browned but not burnt, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; chop the garlic coarsely and return it to the skillet.
4

Whisk the tequila, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, and ginger together in a bowl. Mash in the kiwi with a fork. Stir in the green onion–garlic mixture and the chipotle sauce. Pour this over the chuck steaks in the slow cooker.
5

Cook on Low until the steaks are fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours.
6

Transfer the chuck steaks to a cutting board; shred with 2 forks. Mix in 2 raw green onions.
7

Pour the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the skillet. Simmer over medium heat until it reduces and thickens into a sauce, about 10 minutes. Stir in the shredded steak; simmer until most of the sauce is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
8

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1/4 of the pasilla chile sauce.
9

Spoon the shredded steak mixture into the tortillas. Wrap them up and place seam-side down, close together, in the baking dish. Pour the remaining pasilla chile sauce over the tortillas. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and chives on top.
10

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
