Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Lean beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Low-sodium beef broth
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 8 small Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 1 large Fresh lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast with ground black pepper.

Step 3

Brown the beef on all sides in the skillet, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Transfer the onion and spice mixture to the slow cooker with the beef. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

Step 7

Shred the beef using two forks and mix it with the cooking juices in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of shredded beef on each tortilla, then topping with diced tomato, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Step 10

Serve the tacos warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
