Description

A flavorful and easy-to-make meal, these Crockpot Shredded Beef Tacos feature tender, seasoned beef enveloped in warm tortillas, perfect for any taco night.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds chuck roast
  • 28 ounces can enchilada sauce
  • 2 packets (1 ounce each) street taco seasoning
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 20 white corn tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded Chihuahua Mexican melting cheese
  • Lime, cilantro, and pico de gallo for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chuck Roast: Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast (optional). Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Rub the street taco seasonings all over the chuck roast, ensuring it’s well-coated. Sear the roast in the hot pan for 3-5 minutes on each side until charred to lock in flavor.
  • Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot: Remove the seared roast and place it in the crockpot. Pour the enchilada sauce over the roast and add beef broth and diced onions around it.
  • Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender enough to shred with a fork.
  • Shred the Beef: Carefully remove the chuck roast and place it on a cutting board. Shred the meat with two forks, then return it to the crockpot and mix it with the juices. Let it soak for an additional 10-20 minutes.
  • Prepare the Tortillas: Spoon some juices from the crockpot into a shallow dish. Heat a skillet over medium heat and dip each tortilla in the juices, coating both sides.
  • Assemble the Tacos: Place a couple of coated tortillas in the hot pan, spoon a generous amount of shredded beef onto each, sprinkle with Chihuahua cheese, and fold the tortilla. Cook for about 1 minute on each side until charred.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding jalapeños or more spices.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
