A flavorful and tender barbacoa recipe with a smoky chipotle twist, perfect for tacos, burritos, or bowls.
Peel and chop the garlic cloves.
Chopping the garlic releases its natural oils, enhancing the flavor.
Blend the garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin, black pepper, vinegar, salt, cilantro, and lime juice into a smooth paste.
Blending ensures the marinade evenly coats the meat.
Place the beef roast in the slow cooker and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated.
Marinating the meat in the slow cooker saves time and enhances flavor.
Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
Cooking on low heat ensures the meat becomes tender and flavorful.
Shred the beef using two forks and mix it with the cooking juices.
Mixing the shredded meat with the juices keeps it moist and flavorful.
Serve the barbacoa with your choice of sides such as tortillas, rice, or beans.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for added freshness.
