3 to 4 pounds chuck roast (cut into 6 to 8 pieces)

1 can (4-ounces) green chilies

2 chipotles in adobo (diced)

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1½ teaspoons salt

Vejledning

Add the ingredients to the crock pot. In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the chuck roast pieces, onions, garlic, green chilies, chipotles, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Prepare the broth mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, vinegar, and lime juice, then pour the mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Add the bay leaves.

Cook. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. The cooked beef should be tender and should fall apart easily when shredded with a fork.

Shred the cooked beef. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Using two forks, or shredder claws, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.

Combine. Transfer the shredded beef back into the slow cooker; stir everything together until completely incorporated.

Serve. Garnish the barbacoa beef with cilantro or parsley and serve.
