Ingredients: 3 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into chunks. 1/2 cup beef broth. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1 small onion, chopped. 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped. 1 tbsp adobo sauce. 1/4 cup lime juice. 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. 1 tbsp ground cumin. 1 tbsp dried oregano. 1 tsp ground cloves. 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a slow cooker, combine beef broth, garlic, onion, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add beef chunks to the slow cooker, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce mixture. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce. Serve the barbacoa hot with your favorite toppings, such as cilantro, onions, lime wedges, and tortillas.
