Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 large Onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle the chopped onion and minced garlic over the roast.
Pour the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes with green chilies over the meat.
Add the ground cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir slightly to combine the seasonings and liquids.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours).
After the cooking time is complete, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the crock pot. Mix the shredded meat with the juices to absorb flavor.
Stir in the lime juice for a bright, fresh flavor boost.
Serve the burrito meat in warm tortillas, over rice, or as part of a taco bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
