Instructions
- Place the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, lime juice and beef broth in a blender. Blend until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Cut the chuck roast into large pieces and place these pieces in a crock pot.
- Pour the blender mixture on top of the roast and top with the bay leaves.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender and easy to shred.
- Remove the bay leaves. Shred the beef with 2 forks and stir the shredded beef into the sauce in the crock pot.
- Let the beef sit for a few minutes to soak up the juices from the crock pot.
- Then the beef is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate any leftover beef in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
- You want the beef to be easy to shred. If it’s not, then continue to cook it longer in the crock pot until it shreds easily.
- We love serving the beef over rice or topped on tortillas for delicious burritos or tacos.
