Ingredients
- 1 pounds Lean beef chuck roast

- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 12 Corn tortillas

Directions
Step 1
Trim any visible fat from the beef chuck roast.
Step 2
In a slow cooker, add the lean beef, low sodium beef broth, diced onion, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Cover and cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours or until the beef becomes tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Step 4
Once the beef is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Step 5
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices; let it heat on low for another 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 6
Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas on a non-stick skillet or in the oven until they are pliable.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by placing approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the shredded beef onto each corn tortilla.
Step 8
Top the beef with salsa and chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor when squeezed over the top.
