Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds of beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1-2 jalapeños, sliced (optional, for spice)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper and then sear it on all sides until it’s golden brown. This will add a ton of flavor, so don’t skip it!
- Once the beef is browned, transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and diced tomatoes (including the juice). If you like it spicy, toss in some sliced jalapeños too!
- Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours or on high for about 4 hours. You want that beef to be tender and easy to shred.
- After it’s done cooking, remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred it using two forks. Don’t forget to mix it back into those juicy cooking juices for maximum flavor!
- Serve it up in tacos, burritos, or just alongside some rice and beans. Top it off with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for that extra zing!
There you have it! A simple yet scrumptious dive into Mexican flavors that’s sure to impress. Enjoy every bite and gather around the table with family and friends. Happy cooking!
