Steps:
- Trim the roast of any excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef in the hot skillet, and brown it quickly on all sides.
- Transfer the roast to a slow cooker and top it with the chopped onion. Season with chile peppers, chili powder, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder. Add enough water to cover 1/3 of the roast.
- Cover, and cook on High for 6 hours, checking to make sure there is always at least a small amount of liquid in the bottom of the cooker. Reduce heat to Low, and continue cooking for 2 to 4 hours, or until meat is totally tender and falls apart.
- Transfer the roast to a bowl and shred it using two forks (reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid, if desired). Serve in tacos or burritos (see Cook's Note).

SLOW COOKER MEXICAN MEAT
I had a chuck roast and didn't want to make the usual stew, so after looking at a lot of recipes, I decided to try this for a Mexican meal. I have used this meat for a number of dishes (most favorite is tacos, also burritos and topped nachos with it) I think it is far superior to using ground beef.

- Put everything in a crock pot.
- (Add enough beef broth to come up to almost 1/2 of the roast). Cook on low for 8-10 hours Take out roast, shred beef and add back to liquid.
- (Before I take out the roast, I usually taste it and add more seasoning if needed. You can add more hot sauce, cayenne pepper if you like it hotter or more cumin).
- Cook for another 30 minutes.
- My husband loves this in tacos, but I like to add refried beans and make burritos out of it.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. For pulled pork, pork shoulder is the best choice. It's a tough cut of meat, but the slow cooking process will break it down and make it tender. For shredded chicken, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good options.
- Season the meat well. This is one of the most important steps in making a flavorful dish. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a rub or marinade for the meat. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brown the meat before slow cooking. This will help to develop flavor and color. You can brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat, or you can use the sauté function on your slow cooker.
- Add liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out. You can use water, broth, or a combination of both.
- Cook the meat on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the cut of meat and the size of the pieces.
- Shred the meat before serving. This will make it easier to eat and will help to distribute the flavors throughout the dish.
