Ingredients
1 lb. Beef Round Steak or Roast.1 Can Green Chiles4 TBSP Chili Powder2 TBSP Oregano2 TBSP Ground Cumin5 Cloves Garlic minced1 Knorr Chicken Bouillon Cube12 Corn Tortillas
Directions
If there is any visible fat on your beef, trim it prior to cooking.

Cover bottom of crockpot with just enough water to cover. Add Green Chiles, Chili Powder, Oregano, Cumin, Bouillon, and Garlic. The meat will provide a rich broth during cooking. Add Beef to crockpot.

Cover, cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Shredd meat half way thru cooking and press down so immersed in liquid.

Drain liquid from meat and defat. Me personally, I take a unique approach to this... Freeze a couple of spoons at beginning of cooking. Twirl frozen spoons through liquid and dispose of fat collected.

Add liquid back to meat, Divide into 4 portions. Spread each portion over 3 tortillas... and
Enjoy!
