For an even deeper flavor, sear the beef chunks in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend the cooking liquid before adding it back to the shredded beef. Spice it up by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño to the slow cooker. Serve with warm tortillas, your favorite toppings (such as avocado salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro), and a side of rice and beans for a complete Mexican-inspired feast.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large slow cooker, combine the beef chuck roast, salsa, chopped onion, green chiles, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Ensure the beef is well coated with the mixture. (5 minutes)
02
Step
12 hrs
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for 10-12 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender and easily shredded. (10-12 hours)
03
Step
1 hrs
After the slow cooking, remove the lid and increase the heat to High. Cook for an additional hour to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together even further. (1 hour)
04
Step
5 mins
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked chuck roast to a serving platter. Shred the beef using two forks. (5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Gradually add liquid from the slow cooker, one tablespoon at a time, to the shredded beef until you achieve your desired consistency. Be careful not to oversaturate the beef; you want it moist, not soggy. (5 minutes)
