These aren't your average beef tacos. Made with succulent beef chuck roast slow-cooked over eight hours in a blend of chipotles and herbs, this dish will be a crowd pleaser at every family dinner or potluck. If you somehow have any leftover barbacoa, toss it into your next salad or serve it with a side of rice and beans.

Time 8h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 lb beef chuck roast
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
oil, a drizzle
4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 teaspoons dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup beef broth
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup fresh lime juice
3 bay leaves
flour tortilla, or corn tortillas
rice, cooked
pico de gallo
shredded cheese
sour cream
guacamole
fresh cilantro leaf
avocado, sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the beef into 6-8 large chunks. Season all over with pepper and salt.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef, in batches if necessary, on all sides, until browned. Transfer the seared meat to a slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chipotles, garlic, cumin, oregano, cloves, salt, pepper, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Mix well.
  • Pour the marinade over the beef in the slow cooker and add the bay leaves. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the meat can be shredded easily.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaves. Remove and shred the beef, then return to the slow cooker to marinate in the sauce for at least 10 more minutes, or until ready to serve.
  • To serve, add the shredded beef to your choice of tortillas with your favorite toppings.
  • Enjoy!
