Preparation Steps

  • In a slow cooker, combine the beef chuck roast, beef broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
  • Remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks.
  • Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker with the liquid and stir to combine. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
  • While the beef is resting, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions.
  • Assemble the tacos by filling the warmed tortillas with shredded beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa as desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of adobo sauce to the slow cooker along with the other liquids.
