Take your beef shins and place them into a steel roasting tray, add in the canned and crushed chipotle along with the remaining sauce, along with the beef stock, tomato paste and salt.

In the morning, remove the beef from the oven and allow to cool before using a fork to shred the meat and mix back through the juices.  

Mash together avocado and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Heat your soft taco can start to build up your filling, with some of the beef, then avocado, cheese and finally fresh coriander.
