Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 jalapeños, chopped
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Place Beef in Slow Cooker: Begin by placing the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
  2. Mix the Flavor Base: In a large bowl, mix together the onion, garlic, jalapeños, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef.
  3. Add Beef Broth: Add in the beef broth, ensuring the roast is well-coated in flavors.
  4. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
  5. Shred the Beef: Once cooked, shred the beef with two forks and stir it back into the juices for maximum flavor.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve in tortillas with your choice of toppings, such as cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges.

Notes

For a leaner option, try using beef brisket or chicken thighs. Adjust spiciness by leaving seeds in jalapeños or adding chipotle.
