Barbacoa Beef

Tender homemade Barbacoa Beef made in Slow Cooker is so easy to make and packed with flavors. A favorite for enchiladas, taco Tuesdays, burritos, quesadillas, and taco salads.

I know several of you have been requesting more Crockpot dinners lately so I bring to you Crockpot Barbacoa Beef a copycat of the famous Chipotle's Restaurant.

Crockpot Barbacoa Beef is so simple to make and the perfect meal for feeding a crowed.

It's slowly braised in a mouthwatering combo of spices including chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and a just a bit of cinnamon to leave the house smelling amazing. 

The long slow braise leaves the meat melt in your mouth tender.

I usually will brown the meat first for an extra punch of flavor but decided to skip the browning and opted for a simple throw together crockpot dish this time around.

I promise you won't miss browning the meat in this dish and neither will anyone else it's packed with flavor.

Crockpot Barbacoa Beef makes the perfect filling for burritos, tacos, taco salad or even enchiladas.

Here's how I make Barbacoa in a crock pot:

In a blender add: 

• 2 Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Adobo Sauce from the can of peppers
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Cumin
• 3 teaspoons Oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
• 3/4 cup Water.

Blend until smooth.

Add 2 lbs of Beef Stew Meat or 2lbs Beef Chuck Roast cut up and pureed spices to Crockpot. Mix until meat is well coated.

Cover and set crockpot to high for 6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.

Meat should be tender and pull apart easily with a fork.

Shred Beef using two forks and mix into sauce.

Use Crockpot Barbacoa Beef to fill Burritos, Tacos, Enchiladas, Taco Salad or Nachos.

We love serving Barbacoa Beef with Homemade Soft Flour Tortillas, Cilantro Lime Rice, Restaurant Style Mexican Rice, Refried Black Beans, Pico De Gallo, Mango Black Bean Salsa, and don't forget the Pink Grapefruit Lime Margarita's!
