Ingredientes

3-4 pound chuck roast

1 teaspoon chili powder (I use a hot version)

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

zest of 1 orange

2 tablespoons olive oil

juice of 3 oranges

juice of 1 lime

2 small green chili peppers (minced)

Instrucciones

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Combine spices and orange zest in a small bowl and mix together.

Rub spice mixture on both sides of the roast.

Heat a large dutch oven to high heat with the olive oil.

Once hot, add the roast and brown (about 3 minutes). Flip and brown on the other side.

Once all sides are browned, add the orange and lime juice and the chili peppers.

Cover with lid and transfer to the oven for 3 hours.

Remove from oven and pull beef apart with 2 forks.

Transfer the pulled beef back into the dutch oven to absorb all the remaining juices.

Serve garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
