Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Roast

    Rub the chuck roast with salt and black pepper evenly on all sides.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

    Slow Cook the Beef

    Transfer the roast to a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

    Remove the stems and seeds from the dried New Mexico red chiles. Rinse them under cold water.

  2. 5

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the prepared chiles, garlic cloves, chopped onion, cumin, oregano, and water. Blend until smooth.

  3. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Pour the blended sauce into a saucepan and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Final Assembly

    Shred the Beef

    Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

  2. 8

    Combine with Sauce

    Mix the shredded beef with the red chile sauce until well coated.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Warm the corn tortillas. Place a generous portion of the shredded beef mixture on each tortilla and top with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime.
