Ingredients

Servings

• 3 lbs Chuck Roast
• 1 Packet Cholula Smoky Chipotle Taco Seasoning (medium)
• 1 White Onion
• 2 Jalapenos
• 3 Roma Tomatos
• 2 cups Beef Broth
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cilantro
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbs Olive Oil
• 1 Package Tortillas
• Mozzarella Cheese (Optional)

Instructions

1. Sear Your Meat

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chuck roast chunks, searing them on all sides until they are browned and develop a nice crust, about 2-3 minutes per side.
   • Transfer the seared meat to the Crock Pot.

1. Place in Crock Pot

   • Top the seared meat with seasoning packet.
   • Pour in the beef broth and tomato sauce.

1. Cook

   • Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

1. Add the Veggies

   • Cut up tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, garlic and cilantro.
   • About 1/2 way through cooking add the vegetables in. (You don't want to add them in sooner because they will get mushy.)

1. Cook the Tacos

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip the corn tortillas into the broth in the Crock Pot to coat them, then place them in the skillet.
   • Add a portion of shredded meat to each tortilla, folding them in half. Cook until the tortillas are crispy and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
   • If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat before folding the tortillas.

1. Serve

   • Serve the tacos hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy with extra broth for dipping if desired!
