1. Make the adobe sauce by combining the vinegar, lime juice, chipotle chilis, garlic, cumin, oregano, pepper, salt, cloves, in a blender or food pressor until smooth.

2. Trim the fat from meat. Slice roast into 6 smaller pieces. Sear all sides in oil in large stock pot over medium heat until browned. Add adobe sauce, chicken broth, add bay leaves, cover, turn to medium low and let meat simmer for 5-6 hours or until the meat easily flakes apart. Turn the meat every 30 minutes. After 4 hours keep the lid off the pot. At the 5 hour mark you should be able to tear meat apart.

3. As soon as your meat is in the pot, make pico de gallo by combining all ingredients in bowl. Cover and chill while beef is cooking. Just before the meat is done, prepare the pinto by combining all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 30-40 min. Or until most of liquid is gone. Keep beans warm until meat is ready.

You don't happen to have the chicken recipe do you? Do you think a slowcooker would work? I'm afraid of leaving the stove on for that long, especially because I'm rarely home that long unless I'm sleeping.
