  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 0 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds of beef roast (chuck or brisket)
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 tablespoon cumin
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 onion, sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Corn or flour tortillas (to serve)
– Lime wedges (for serving)
– Fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, avocado, and sliced jalapeños (optional)


Instructions

Creating Easy Crock Pot Street Tacos is as simple as following these steps:

1. Prepare the Meat: Trim excess fat from the beef roast, then cut it into manageable pieces if needed.

2. Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Season the Meat: Rub the spice mix onto the surface of the beef roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

4. Layer the Crock Pot: Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the crock pot. Add the minced garlic on top.

5. Add the Beef: Nestle the seasoned beef roast on top of the onion and garlic layer.

6. Pour in the Broth: Carefully add the beef broth around the edges of the roast, avoiding direct contact with the spices, which helps keep them intact.

7. Cook: Cover the crock pot and set it to low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours, until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

8. Shred the Beef: Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot. Allow it to cool slightly before shredding it using two forks.

9. Return to the Pot: Add the shredded beef back into the crock pot to combine it with the flavored juices.

10. Serve: Prepare the tortillas and load them with the shredded beef, topping them with fresh cilantro and your choice of optional toppings.
