Ingredients
3 lbs Beef chuck roast
2 dried Ancho chilies
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
1 diced onion
4 Garlic cloves, minced
3 dried Guajillo chilies
1 large Onion
1 can Tomatoes (15 oz)
2 cups Beef broth
1 package Corn tortillas
Instructions
Begin by heating a hot skillet over medium heat. Add the dried ancho and guajillo chilies, toasting them until they become fragrant.
Place the beef chuck roast in your crock pot. Add in the toasted chilies, minced garlic, diced onion, canned tomatoes, and pour the beef broth over the top.
Set your crock pot to low and cook for 480 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the beef is tender and shreds easily.
Remove the beef from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot to soak up all those delicious juices.
Fill warm corn tortillas with the shredded beef and top with fresh cilantro and diced onion. Enjoy!
Notes
For a cheesy twist, melt some cheese in the tortillas before adding the beef.
