Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Spices and Chipotle

    Stir in the chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook the Beef

    Return the seared chuck roast to the skillet. Cover and reduce heat to low, simmering for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily.

  5. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Serve the shredded beef in taco shells and top with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and optional sour cream and shredded cheese.
