Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Cumin
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 medium Avocado
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
• 4 medium Radishes

Directions

Step 1

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Sear the roast in the hot skillet until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, cumin, chili powder, and paprika to the skillet; stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

Step 9

While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings: dice avocados, halve and juice the lime, chop cilantro, and thinly slice radishes.

Step 10

Once the beef is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.

Step 11

Return shredded beef to the slow cooker to absorb the juices.

Step 12

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of shredded beef onto each romaine lettuce leaf.

Step 13

Top with diced avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, chopped cilantro, and sliced radishes.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy!
