Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Mix chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, oregano, and pepper. Rub all over the roast. Place onion and garlic in a slow cooker; set beef on top. Add green chiles and broth.

  2. 2

    Cook on LOW 8–9 hours or HIGH 5–6 hours until the beef shreds easily with forks.

  3. 3

    Shred beef in the cooker, discard large fat pieces, and stir in lime juice. Taste and add salt. If the liquid is thin, cook uncovered on HIGH 15–20 minutes to thicken slightly.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas. Fill with shredded beef and toppings. Spoon a little cooking juice over the meat so the tacos stay juicy.
