Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 large Onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 4 Lime wedges
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.
Slice the onion into thin strips and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Transfer the seared beef, onions, garlic, and broth to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks and mix it into the juices in the slow cooker to keep it moist and flavorful.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the wraps by layering shredded beef onto the tortilla, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
