Healthy Fact of the Day

Beef chuck roast is rich in protein and iron, supporting muscle health and energy levels. Slow cooking breaks down tough fibers, making the meat tender while preserving nutrients.

These Crockpot Street Tacos are the perfect centerpiece for Taco Tuesday, delivering authentic Mexican street food flavors with minimal effort. The beef chuck roast slow-cooks to perfection, absorbing all the savory seasonings and becoming incredibly tender. Just set it and forget it—your crockpot does all the work while you go about your day.

For a complete Taco Tuesday spread, pair these with our Tamale Casserole for a hearty side that complements the street taco flavors beautifully. If you’re craving more slow-cooked goodness, try our Chile Colorado—another beef dish with rich, complex flavors that taco lovers will adore.

    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.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
