Slow Cooker Shredded Beef

Beef is slowly cooked in warm Mexican spices until tender and juicy – ideal for serving in tortillas, over rice or on a salad!

Recently I asked what types of recipes you wanted to see more of on The Lemon Bowl and I got a resounding response for more slow cooker recipes!

One cut of beef ideal for the slow cooker is the beef chuck roast. Cut from the shoulder, chuck roast tends to be on the tougher side which is why it lends itself so well to a long cook time of a slow cooker.

Affordable and versatile, the chuck roast adds just the right amount of fat to produce a tender, flavorful end result. Made with warm spices like cloves, cumin and oregano, I love serving this shredded beef in warm tortillas, over brown rice or on top of my Mexican Slaw.

My boys love cilantro and avocado so I always add it as a garnish to the dish but that’s totally optional.

If you want to make this ahead of time, it will keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

Your fork is waiting.
