Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into the slow cooker except the bay leaves. Use a large spoon or tongs to stir everything together. Add in the bay leaves then cover with the lid. Set to low and cook for 8-9 hours. The meat should be tender and falling apart easily, if not, cook for an additional 30-60 minutes.
- Remove the beef chunks from the slow cooker and onto a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat. Remove the bay leaves then add the beef back into the juices. Toss it around until it's coated and then serve as a filling for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc.
