Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 cup beef broth

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 onion, chopped

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 12 corn tortillas

• 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped

• 1 cup pico de gallo

Directions

• Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the beef on both sides to lock in the flavors. This step is optional but recommended for richer taste.
• Place the seared beef in the crockpot, adding salt, pepper, beef broth, garlic, onion, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
• Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
• Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred using two forks. Return shredded beef to the crockpot and mix with juices.
• Warm the corn tortillas in a pan over medium heat or directly on a gas flame for a slight char on the edges.
• Assemble the tacos by adding the shredded beef onto the warmed tortillas, then topping with cilantro and pico de gallo.
• Serve the assembled street tacos warm with a side of lime wedges and enjoy the burst of flavors and textures.
