This barbacoa beef is made with chuck roast and cooked low and slow for a flavorful and tender result. You can customize it with various toppings for tacos. It incorporates common ingredients and is perfect for a family meal.
1: Cut roast into smaller portions so it’s easier to brown. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2: Pat dry the roast, then salt and pepper. Add to skillet and sear all sides until brown (~8-10 mins total). Remove and set aside.
3: In a blender, blend 0.5 cup beef broth, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and garlic.
4: In a slow cooker, add in blended pepper mixture, remaining beef broth, cumin, oregano, and cloves. Whisk to combine. Place beef into slow cooker and nestle bay leaves between beef.
5: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
6: Remove beef and shred. Return to slow cooker, add juice of 1 lime, toss and serve.
