Print Recipe

Taco nights used to mean simple fillings—until we discovered this smoky-sweet shredded beef. It’s tender, flavorful, and the perfect mix of spice and sweetness. Inspired by a roadside taco stand we stumbled on during a road trip, this recipe has become a beloved family favorite. Try it once, and you’ll crave it every week!

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs chuck roast

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup beef broth

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • Corn or flour tortillas

  • Optional toppings: avocado, cilantro, lime, red onion, cheese

Instructions

  • Season beef with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with olive oil until browned on all sides.

  • Transfer to a slow cooker. Add onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, honey, broth, vinegar, and cumin.

  • Cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until beef is fall-apart tender.

  • Shred the beef and mix it back into the sauce.

  • Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sear the beef first!

  • Make it ahead—the flavors get even better the next day.

  • Freeze leftovers for a quick taco night later on.
