Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs beef chuck roast cut into 3-inch chunks
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 chipotles in adobo sauce finely diced
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup beef stock
  • 3 bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients, except the bay leaves, to the bowl of a slow cooker.
  • Use tongs to gently toss and mix it all together. Then add the bay leaves, and cover. Cook on low for 8-9 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. The beef should be tender and fall apart easily when shredded with a fork. If it doesn't shred easily, cook it a bit longer.
  • Remove the beef to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it.
  • Place the shredded beef back in the slow cooker, give it a stir, and let it absorb the juices.
  • Serve the barbacoa straight from the slow cooker, or add it to a plate and garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
