Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs beef chuck roast

1 tbsp smoked paprika

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cinnamon

4 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

Place onion and garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker and lay meat on top.

Mix broth, tomato paste, and lime juice in a bowl and pour over meat.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Shred meat with two forks and return to slow cooker for 30 minutes on ‘warm’ to soak in juices.

Store leftovers in airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months.

Add lime juice when reheating to refresh flavors.
