Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 3

Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.

Step 4

Add the low sodium beef broth, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, chopped onion, ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf into the slow cooker.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.

Step 7

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak up the juices for another 15 minutes on low heat.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side or until pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of shredded beef onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
