Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef Chuck Roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 cloves Garlic Cloves
• 1 cup Beef Broth
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 large Lime
• 8 leaves Large Lettuce Leaves
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the beef. Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks to help it cook evenly and fit in your slow cooker. Season the beef pieces with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks on each side until they are browned. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the beef to the slow cooker.

Step 3

Chop the onion into large pieces and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In the same skillet used to sear the beef, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion begins to soften.

Step 5

Pour the beef broth into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then carefully pour it over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker. Stir well to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the shredded beef and mix again.

Step 9

To serve, place generous portions of shredded beef into large lettuce leaves. Top each taco with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the Whole30 shredded beef tacos immediately, and enjoy a healthy, delicious meal.
