- 2 lbs beef chuck roast

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Corn or flour tortillas

Instructions
- Gather and prep your ingredients: In a slow cooker, place the beef chuck roast, onion, garlic, beef broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Set it to cook: Cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully.
- Shred and mix: Once cooked, take two forks and shred the beef, mixing it back into the savory juices for maximum flavor.
- Warm your tortillas: While the beef rests, gently warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave, making them easier to fold and deliciously pliable.
- Assemble and serve: Fill each tortilla with generous portions of shredded beef, then add your desired toppings like fresh cilantro, zesty lime, and creamy avocado.
Notes
For extra flavor, sear the beef roast before adding it to the slow cooker. These tacos make great leftovers and are perfect for meal prep.
