- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin ground
- 1 tablespoon oregano dried
- 1½ teaspoons garlic salt with parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3-4 pounds chuck roast cut into 6-8 chunks
- ¼ cup cilantro for garnish, fresh, chopped
- lime optional, wedges
Instructions
- Add beef broth, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic salt, and pepper to the bowl of your slow cooker.
- Add chuck roast chunks and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours.

Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- Store leftovers, including some of the delicious juices from the crock pot, in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freezer for 3 months. Thaw in the fridge if needed overnight and reheat it in the microwave or the oven.
- For melt-in-your-mouth barbacoa cook on low heat, not high heat.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot. Stick to between ½ and ⅔ full.
- To keep this meal easy, serve with a simple side of tortillas.
