Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef chuck roast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 4 oz Diced green chiles
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 12 pieces Soft taco-sized flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and onion powder.
Place the seasoned roast into the Crock Pot.
Add the beef broth, diced green chiles, and tomato paste to the Crock Pot, ensuring the roast is partially submerged in the liquid.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the Crock Pot and place it onto a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into small pieces.
Return the shredded beef to the Crock Pot and stir to combine it with the cooking liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.
Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions, either in a dry skillet or in the microwave under a damp paper towel.
Assemble the tacos by adding the shredded beef to the center of each tortilla. Top with optional garnishes like chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your shredded beef soft tacos while they’re warm!
