Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and oregano on all sides.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Slice the onion into thin strips and sauté in the skillet until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 7

Add beef broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 8

Transfer the seared beef roast to a slow cooker and pour the onion, garlic, and broth mixture over it.

Step 9

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is very tender and easy to shred.

Step 10

While the beef is cooking, slice the bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 11

Once the beef is done, transfer it to a cutting board and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the juices.

Step 12

In a large skillet, sauté the sliced bell peppers over medium heat until tender but still vibrant, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 13

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds.

Step 14

Assemble the fajitas by layering shredded beef, sautéed bell peppers, and onions onto each tortilla.

Step 15

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
