Crock Pot Shredded Mexican Beef

by Jamie

I’ve got a great Mexican Shredded Beef recipe for you today that is packed with flavor and super easy to make. You can use the meat to make tacos, burritos, enchiladas or a great big tasty Cafe Rio Style Salad complete with Cilantro Lime Rice and Cilantro Dressing (which is my favorite way to eat it!)

Hope some of you get a chance to try it!

This looks delicious! I had a chuck roast in the freezer, which is now in the crockpot. I plan on going the burrito route with this tonight – picky 13 year old eater in the house. Can’t wait for tonight! Thank you for the recipe.

THis is a wonderful recipe!! I made it today because I had a chuck Roast in the freezer that needed to be cooked because I bought 4 more beef chuck roasts Kroger yesterday on the buy one get one free deal this week!

You won’t be disappointed I promised!! This beef recipe along with some fresh guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and some kind of hot salsa you decide!!! It was wonderful, and I know that the leftovers will be equally delicious if not better!!!

Thanks for the recipe!!!
