Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup beef broth, Whole30 compliant
• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup sliced radishes
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 2 cups lettuce, shredded
• 0 to taste salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until well browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 3

Place the seared beef in a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, ground cumin, dried oregano, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and beef broth.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 5

While the beef is cooking, prepare the cauliflower rice. Sauté the cauliflower rice over medium heat in a non-stick skillet for about 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Once the beef is done, use two forks to shred the meat in the slow cooker. Stir to combine the meat with the sauce.

Step 7

Assemble the burrito bowls: start with a bed of cauliflower rice, then top with shredded barbacoa, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced radishes, and avocado slices.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Barbacoa Burrito Bowl.
