Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 (3-pound) beef chuck roast
  2. 1 medium onion, sliced
  3. 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  4. 1 (4-ounce) can green chilies
  5. 2 chipotles, chopped
  6. 1/2 cup beef broth
  7. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  8. Juice of 2 limes
  9. 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  10. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  11. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  12. 1 teaspoon salt
  13. 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Layer sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place chuck roast on top of onions. Sprinkle chopped garlic around the side of the beef.
  • In a small bowl, add green chilies, chopped chipotle, beef broth, vinegar, and lime juice. Whisk together and pour over the roast.
  • Sprinkle the top of the roast with cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and set the timer for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
  • Once done, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
  • Drain off 3/4 of the liquid from the pot, then add the shredded beef back into the pot. Gently toss with the remaining juice.
  • Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for future meals. Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Notes
