Ingredients

    2 lbs chuck roast (fat trimmed), cut into 2-inch chunks
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 chiptoles in adobo sauce, chopped (or more to taste)
    1 small white onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    3 bay leaves
    1 Tablespoon ground cumin
    1 Tablespoon dried Mexican oregano (or regular oregano)
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 tsp ground cloves
    1/2 cup beef broth or water

Directions

Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a slow cooker. Toss gently to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily when shredded with a fork.

Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces inside of the slow cooker. Toss the beef with the juices, then cover and let the barbacoa beef soak up the juices for an extra 10 minutes. Remove cover and use a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon to serve the barbacoa beef.

Serving Size: Makes 8-12 servings.

    Incredible!
    Very good! made this as a 1/2 recipe more than enough for 2 large sandwiches + salad. Froze leftovers for another day! great for someone who does not like to cook everyday. - 6/6/20

    Incredible!
    Easy to make, tastes great. Meat is very tender. The only problem is it was hard to keep to one portion. A single portion is good for a sandwich...a double portion is what I ate for dinner. - 11/12/17
