This makes a lot so it is good for a crowd. I think it would also freeze well. The chipotle in adobo have some heat to it so keep that in mind before you decide how much you want to add. The cloves are different, but they round out the flavor.

If you are trying to eat gluten free, rather putting this meat into a flour tortilla, I have a suggestion. You could mix the meat with some Spanish style or brown rice, and do lettuce wraps with it. I see this done a lot nowadays with Asian style dishes, and think this Mexican themed recipe would taste great served this way as well.
