    Ingredients

    • 3 pound chuck roast, fat trimmed and cut into 2 inch cubes
    • 1/2 cup beef broth
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3-4 chipotles in adobo, chopped (depending on how spicy you like it)
    • 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
    • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
    • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • 3 bay leaves
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • salt and pepper

    Instructions

    • Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and toss to combine.
    • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
    • Remove the bay leaves.
      When the beef is tender spoon it out of the liquid and into another dish or cutting board. Shred with two forks into bite sized pieces.
    • Spoon the liquid from the slow cooker on top. Allow the beef to rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the beef to soak up some of the liquid.
      Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately!
