Slow Cooker Shredded Beef (Perfect for Tacos or Enchiladas!) recipe
Spend With Pennies

This is a delicious way to make beef for tacos (soft or crunchy) or even enchiladas! If I am lucky enough to have leftovers, I usually make quesadillas for lunch the next day!

Ingredients

28 ounces enchilada sauce
1 large onion (diced)
1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and chopped (optional))
2 cloves garlic (sliced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
3-4 pounds chuck roast

Method

1
Rub the beef with cumin and chili powder. Brown on all sides in a medium-hot non-stick pan.
2
Place the onions, jalapeño and garlic into the slow cooker. Add the roast. Pour enchilada sauce over top.
3
Cook on low 8-10 hours. Remove the beef to a large platter. Using 2 forks, shred the beef disposing of any fat.
4
Skim any fat off the remaining liquid. Remove the onions and peppers and all except approx. 1 cup from the slow cooker. Add the shredded beef to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir. Add the reserved liquid until you reach the desired consistency.
5
Serve in tacos or use in enchiladas. You can serve the onions/peppers on the side if desired
