Method

Beef Barbacoa Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a slow cooker, add the beef chuck roast, onion (roughly chopped), garlic cloves (minced), chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, beef broth, and lime juice.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  3. 3

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks and mix it back into the juices in the slow cooker.

Fajita Veggies Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Veggies

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add sliced bell peppers and onion along with salt. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat.

Corn Salsa Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine corn, diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Bowl/Burrito Assembly

    Assemble the Bowl or Burrito

    In a bowl or large tortilla, layer cooked rice, shredded beef barbacoa, sautéed fajita veggies, corn salsa, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Serve immediately.
