Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 (4 ounce) cans green chili with juices, mild
- 1 (1 ounce) packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup butter cut into pieces, unsalted
For serving:
- corn tortilla optional, to taste, chopped red onions; lime wedges; etc
- flour tortilla
- red onion
- avocado
- lime
- Chipotle ranch dressing optional, to taste
Instructions
- Place the roast in your slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth. Add the green chilies around the roast, sprinkle the roast with the au jus packet, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder, and then place the butter on top of the roast.
- Cover and slow cook on low for 8 hours or until it's fall-apart tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chipotle ranch dressing (if using), then cover and refrigerate it until needed.
- Shred the beef with two forks and toss with the juices in the slow cooker.
- Served with warmed tortillas and desired toppings. See more suggestions in the blog post - this recipe is very flexible!
Notes
- You can sear the beef in a skillet first if you prefer.
- I don't recommend cooking the roast any faster at a higher heat. It won't be as tender. You may need to cook it for more than 8 hours for it to shred easily, so keep that in mind.
- The chipotle ranch dressing can also be found on page 217 of our debut cookbook Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials.
