Description

Crockpot Chipotle Pot Roast Tacos are a flavor-packed dish with tender beef slow-cooked in chipotle peppers, spices, and beef broth, perfect for a smoky and spicy taco experience.


Ingredients

  • 34 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 23 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon lime juice

Corn or flour tortillas, for serving

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Diced avocado, for topping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Optionally sear the meat in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
  3. In the crockpot, combine the onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, lime juice, and beef broth. Stir well.
  4. Place the roast on top of the ingredients in the crockpot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
  6. Remove the roast, shred it with two forks, and return it to the crockpot, mixing with the juices. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
  8. Assemble tacos by filling tortillas with shredded beef and topping with avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
  9. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
