Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks, trimming excess fat.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef pieces on all sides until browned.
Place the beef in a slow cooker. Add minced garlic, oregano, cumin, chipotle chili powder, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks and mix with the juices in the slow cooker.
Steam or sauté the cauliflower rice until tender. Toss with chopped cilantro and lime juice to taste.
Prepare the vegetables: chop romaine lettuce, slice avocados and radishes, and halve cherry tomatoes.
To assemble the burrito bowls, start by layering cauliflower rice, romaine lettuce, and shredded barbacoa.
Top with avocado slices, radish slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately.
