  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 14 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds beef chuck roast
– 1 cup salsa verde
– 1 medium onion, sliced
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ground cumin
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 8 small corn tortillas
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Lime wedges (for serving)
– Optional toppings: diced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes


Instructions

Creating Salsa Verde Shredded Beef Tacos can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Beef: Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks.

2. Season the Meat: In a bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Rub this mixture all over the beef chunks.

3. Sear the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and sear on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

4. Combine Ingredients: Place the seared beef in a slow cooker. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and salsa verde on top of the beef.

5. Cook the Beef: If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily. For stovetop cooking, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 2-3 hours on low heat.

6. Shred the Beef: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker or skillet, mixing it with the salsa verde and juices.

7. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

8. Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous amount of shredded beef on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and any additional toppings you desire.

9. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible tacos effortlessly, ensuring a delightful meal for you and your guests.
