Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 cans Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 Bay leaves
• 8 Large flour tortillas
• 4 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 cups Black beans
• 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 1 cup Chopped cilantro
• 1 cup Diced tomato
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 Sliced avocado

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the beef chuck roast into large chunks, approximately 3-4 inches in size.

Step 2

Place the beef chunks into a slow cooker.

Step 3

In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, beef broth, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the blended sauce over the beef in the slow cooker. Add bay leaves into the mixture.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is very tender and can be shredded easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaves from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the beef in the slow cooker, mixing it well with the sauce.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and heat in the oven for a few minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the burritos, place a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Add about 1/2 cup of cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, a generous portion of shredded barbacoa beef, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top.

Step 9

Add toppings: a tablespoon or two of chopped cilantro, a few diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado.

Step 10

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 12

Serve the burritos warm, and enjoy your homemade barbacoa burritos!
