Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs beef chuck roast
8 corn tortillas
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tbsp lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
Salt to taste
1 cup beef broth

Instructions

Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt, cumin, and chili powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides.
Transfer seared beef to a slow cooker. Add diced onions and beef broth, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours until fork-tender.
Warm tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
Once the beef is ready, shred it directly in the slow cooker. Spoon the beef into warm tortillas and top with cilantro, onions, and lime juice.
