Crock Pot Shredded Mexican Beef

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!

Let me show you how to make it happen!

1. Grab a 3 pound chuck roast. Spray a 3 quart crock pot with cooking spray and place the beef inside.

2. Into a large glass measuring cup pour 1 (10 ounce) can green enchilada sauce, 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce and 1 C beef broth. Add 1 Tb cumin, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 3 cloves garlic and 1 Tb melted butter.

Give it a nice stir to combine.

Pour it over the top of the beef.

3. Slice 1 onion into thin strips and place them over the top of the beef. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

4. Remove the onions from the pot.

5. Carefully place the meat on a plate…

and shred it up with two forks. Place the meat back in the crock pot and cook on high for an additional 1 hour.

Serve in tortillas with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, salsa and tomatoes.

You could also serve it Cafe Rio style, in a big salad with cilantro lime rice and cilantro lime dressing. You could even turn it into shredded beef enchiladas! Lots of possibilities here!
