Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds pot roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pot Roast: Trim any excess fat off the pot roast to prevent greasiness. Generously season the meat with salt, pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to create a flavorful base.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, honey, minced garlic, chopped onion, and beef broth. This sauce will infuse the meat with smoky sweetness and ensure it remains moist during cooking.
  3. Slow Cook the Roast: Place the seasoned pot roast into the crockpot and pour the sauce mixture evenly over the top. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours until the meat is fork-tender and easy to shred.
  4. Shred and Season: Once cooked, remove the pot roast from the crockpot and shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot and mix it thoroughly with the cooking juices. Add fresh lime juice and stir to brighten the flavors just before serving.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Warm your preferred tortillas in a dry skillet or oven. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the shredded beef and add toppings such as chopped cilantro, diced red onion, sliced radishes, crumbled queso fresco, avocado slices, sour cream, or salsa to complete your tacos.

Notes

  • Use a well-marbled pot roast for the best tenderness and flavor.
  • Searing the meat before slow cooking enhances both flavor and texture, though optional.
  • Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spice level.
  • Reserve some cooking liquids to keep the shredded meat juicy.
  • Warm tortillas properly on a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in the oven to prevent tearing.
