2 lb tri tip roast

2 TB olive oil

1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, mashed

1 tsp paprika

Start a day ahead of time. Trim any silver skin from roast as needed. In a small mixing bowl combine oil, chipotle pepper, paprika, black pepper, and chipotle chili powder.  Spread over roast.  Season generously with salt. Place in a ziplock bag; allow to sit overnight.  

Thirty minutes before you plan to roast the meat, remove from refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place roast in a foil lined baking dish. Roast 35-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 125 degrees F. 

Remove meat to a cutting board; allow to rest 20 minutes before slicing. Cut into thin slices. Optional to serve with warmed tortillas/taco shells. Serves 3-4.
