Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large pot or slow cooker, combine the beef chuck roast, beef broth, chopped onion, diced bell pepper, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours in a slow cooker, or on medium heat for about 3-4 hours on the stove, until the beef is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine with the juices.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    To serve, place a generous amount of the shredded beef mixture on a plate, top with fresh lettuce and shredded cheese.
