Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 lbs chuck roast
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • Fresh corn or flour tortillas
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Diced onions (optional)
  • Additional toppings: sliced radishes, crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Generously season the chuck roast with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to create a flavorful base before slow cooking.
  2. Sear for Extra Flavor: Heat a bit of oil in a hot skillet and sear the roast on all sides until browned. This locks in juices and adds depth to the dish.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the seared roast into the Crockpot and add chopped onions, minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and beef broth. Stir gently to distribute the chipotle peppers evenly around the roast.
  4. Slow Cook Until Tender: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours to allow the meat to become fork-tender and infused with smoky flavors.
  5. Shred and Mix: Remove the roast from the Crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the Crockpot juices and stir well to coat the meat in the smoky sauce.
  6. Assemble Your Tacos: Warm the tortillas just before serving. Fill each tortilla with the shredded chipotle pot roast, then garnish with fresh lime wedges, chopped cilantro, diced onions, and any other preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Choose chuck roast or brisket for best tenderness.
  • Don’t skip searing to lock in flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control heat level.
  • Warm tortillas just before serving for softness and pliability.
  • Let the shredded beef sit in its juices for a few minutes to soak up flavors before assembling tacos.
