Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until well browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Place the seared beef in a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, ground cumin, dried oregano, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and beef broth.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the cauliflower rice. Sauté the cauliflower rice over medium heat in a non-stick skillet for about 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Once the beef is done, use two forks to shred the meat in the slow cooker. Stir to combine the meat with the sauce.
Assemble the burrito bowls: start with a bed of cauliflower rice, then top with shredded barbacoa, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced radishes, and avocado slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Barbacoa Burrito Bowl.
