Barbacoa Beef Tacos Recipe.

Ingredients:

3 LB Chuck Roast
Pinch of Salt
2 TBSP Olive Oil
Pinch of Ground Black Pepper
1 1/4 Cup Beef Broth
3 Chipotle Chilies
6 Cloves of Garlic
1 1/2 TSP Ground Cumin
1 TBSP Dried Oregano
1/4 TSP Ground Cloves
4 Bay Leaves
1/4 Cup Fresh Lime Juice

Recipe Instructions:

Cut the chuck roast into 6 portions and remove any large pieces of fat.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Dry roast pieces with paper towel, season each piece with salt and pepper and add to the skillet and sear until browned on all sides.
Transfer seared chuck roast pieces to the pot of a slow cooker, set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the chilies, garlic and 1/4 cup of beef broth until well pureed.
In a small glass bowl, mix together the remaining beef broth with the chipotle chili mixture, cumin, oregano and cloves and pour mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, place bay leaves between the pieces of beef.
Cover the beef and cook on a low-heat in the slow cooker for 7-8 hours.
After 7-8 hours remove beef from the slow cooker (leaving broth in the slow cooker) and shred.
Stir the lime juice into the broth mixture and return shredded beef to slow cooker and cook on low for another 30-40 minutes.
Strain beef from the liquid and serve in tortillas with the toppings of your choice.
