Ingredients

Instructions

Prep Roast: Season the roast with salt and pepper on all sides. 3 lbs Chuck Roast 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon Pepper
Sear Roast: Sear the roast on medium-high heat on both sides using a small amount of oil. I seared for about two minutes on each side. Place the roast in crock pot.
Prep Ingredients: Dice the onion and jalapeño and place them on the roast. 1 Yellow Onion 1 Jalapeño
Make the Sauce: Mix the taco seasoning, beef broth, tomato paste, and lime juice. Pour over the roast and veggies. 2 tablespoon Taco Seasoning ¼ cup Beef Broth 2 tablespoon Tomato Paste ¼ cup Lime Juice
Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. Cook until the roast is tender and easy to shred.
Serve and Enjoy: Shred the roast beef with two forks and toss to coat with juices. Dish and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Topping Ideas: Lettuce, cheese, beans, rice, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, lime, salsa, and hot sauce.
Cook meat until tender: Even after 8 hours, if your meat is still a little tough, you can keep cooking. A chuck roast will only get tender, and it will not dry out.
Searing the meat: Adds an extra layer of flavor, and I know it is an extra step, but I find it to be worth the time.
Taste and adjust at the end - After shredding, give it a taste. Add a little seasoning if needed.

Store leftover meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To reheat, thaw in the fridge if frozen. The best way to warm it is on the stove or at a low temperature in the oven.
