Making Shredded Beef Tacos is an enjoyable and rewarding experience if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Beef: Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef chuck roast. Cut it into large chunks for even cooking.
2. Season the Beef: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture generously over the beef chunks.
3. Sear the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Place the seared beef in a slow cooker. Pour the beef broth and lime juice over the top.
5. Cook Low and Slow: Set your slow cooker to low and allow the beef to cook for 4-6 hours until it’s tender and easily shredded with a fork.
6. Shred the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.
7. Return Shredded Beef: Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix well with the cooking juices. Allow it to sit for an additional 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
8. Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in a preheated oven.
9. Assemble the Tacos: To serve, place a generous portion of beef on each tortilla, then add your desired toppings.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Shredded Beef Tacos while they’re warm!
