1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon freshly minced cilantro
Instructions
-
Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear chuck roast on all sides (optional, for deeper flavor).
-
Place roast in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and pepper. Rub onto the meat.
-
Pour beef broth around the roast.
-
Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
-
Shred beef in the slow cooker with two forks.
-
Add lime juice and cilantro, stir well, and serve hot.
Notes
Add chipotle peppers or hot sauce for a spicier version.
Mix in orange juice with lime for a citrusy twist.
Use parsley or green onions instead of cilantro if desired.
Great for tacos, bowls, burritos, or over rice.
