Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 8 ounces Diced green chiles
- 2 cups Canned green enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season both sides with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder.
Place the beef chuck roast in the crock pot (slow cooker).
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced green chiles, canned green enchilada sauce, and beef broth to the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce. Allow it to heat for an additional 15 minutes on LOW.
Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or heating them on a skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
Spoon a generous portion of the shredded beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef and roll the tortillas tightly into burritos.
Optional: For extra flavor, place the assembled burritos in a baking dish, sprinkle with more cheese on top, and bake in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Serve the burritos hot, topped with sour cream and fresh cilantro if desired.
