MEXICAN POT ROAST 
1 (3 lb.) boneless chuck roast
2 (12 oz.) jars picante sauce
1 (12 oz.) can beer
1 med. onion, coarsely chopped
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped

I use Old El Paso Picante sauce one mild, one hot. Prick roast thoroughly with fork tines. Place in 3 quart casserole. Pour picante sauce and beer over roast.

Cover and microwave at medium (50% power) for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, rotating every 20 minutes.

Add onion and green pepper. Cover and microwave at medium (50%) for 15 minutes let stand covered for 15 minutes.

Serve with yellow rice. Spoon sauce over rice and meat.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

Replace Picante sauce with 2 cans Rotel (undrained) and leave out Beer. Add Cilantro. Makes it more AUTHENTIC. Wonderful and easy.
