Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and sear each side until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer the garlic to a blender or food processor.
Add chipotle peppers, ground cumin, oregano, ground cloves, bay leaves, apple cider vinegar, and beef broth to the blender. Blend until smooth to create a sauce.
Return the beef to the pot and pour the sauce over it. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easy to shred.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, vegetable oil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and let simmer for about 18 minutes.
When the rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Mash avocados in a bowl for guacamole. Stir in lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Combine chopped tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro in another bowl. Add lime juice and salt to taste to make pico de gallo. Set aside.
Once beef is cooked, remove from oven and shred with two forks. Mix the beef with sauce to ensure it's fully coated.
Assemble the burrito bowls by placing a base of rice in each bowl, then adding shredded barbacoa beef, black beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Serve immediately and enjoy!
