Tips:
- Use a slow cooker to easily shred the beef. This method takes longer, but it is a hands-off approach that produces tender and flavorful results.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also braise the beef in a Dutch oven or large pot over low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onion and bell pepper. Thinly sliced vegetables will cook more evenly and quickly than thick slices.
- If you like spicy food, use a hotter variety of chili powder, such as cayenne pepper or ancho chili powder. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
- Serve the shredded beef with your favorite burrito or taco toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
