Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 16 ounces Green enchilada sauce
• 4 ounces Diced green chiles
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks (about 3-4 inches in size).

Step 2

Place the beef chunks into the crock pot.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot.

Step 4

Pour the green enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, and beef broth over the beef and seasonings.

Step 5

Stir gently to combine the ingredients and coat the beef with the sauce.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.

Step 7

Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot. Mix the shredded beef with the sauce to ensure it is well coated.

Step 8

Stir in the lime juice for a hint of brightness.

Step 9

Serve hot in tortillas for burritos or tacos. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
