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!

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.
