Ingredients
  • 3 lbs beef eye of round or bottom round roast, all fat trimmed
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • ½ medium onion
  • ½ lime, juice
  • 2-4 chiptoles in adobo sauce (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground oregano
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 cup water
Instructions
  1. Place garlic, onion, lime juice, cumin, oregano, chiptoles, cloves in a blender, and blend until liquified.
  2. Trim all fat off meat, cut into 4 inch chunks. Season with salt and pepper and brown on high heat in 1 tsp oil. Add liquefied spices, water, bay leaves and simmer on low in slow cooker 7 to 8 hours.
  3. Once cooked and the meat is tender, remove the meat and place in a dish. Shred it with two forks, and reserve the liquid for later (discard the bay leaf). Return the shredded meat to the pot, adjust salt and cumin (you may need to add more) to taste and add some of the reserved liquid back. Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.
