Description

Delicious slow-cooked beef chuck roast tacos served with fresh toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 23 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Corn tortillas
  • Chopped cilantro and onion for garnish
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Toast the dried guajillo chiles in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
  2. Add toasted chiles, beef broth, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Place the beef chuck roast in the Crock Pot and pour the sauce over it, ensuring the roast is well coated.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.
  5. Shred the meat with two forks in the pot, absorbing the remaining sauce.
