What I love about making Tuesdays our family taco night is that I always know what to make on Tuesdays. It makes meal planning a no-brainer. I make a different taco recipe each Tuesday of the month. Mexican shredded beef in the crockpot is one of my family’s favorites. Follow along to see how to make this fantastic meal.

This recipe takes only 9 simple ingredients. Each ingredient is real and wholesome, making this meal perfect for feeding your family.

• Grass-fed Beef Chuck Roast – Obviously this is the most important ingredient in this meal. Why do I suggest grass-fed? It is loaded with nutrients and has more health benefits than grain-fed meat. It also really does taste better.
• Beef Stock or Vegetable Stock– Adding this liquid will add flavor and put moisture into the shredded beef.
• Tomato Paste– This adds a delicious tomato flavor.
• Spices– Chili Powder, Cumin, Garlic Powder, and Cayenne all add a very delicious flavor to this dish.
• Jalapenos-This gives a wonderful spice to this dish. According to your heat preference, you can use more or less.
• Onions– These add flavor and texture. So so good!

How to make this recipe

This recipe starts off by adding a grass-fed beef chuck roast to your crockpot. Next, add the beef or vegetable stock along with the tomato paste. Add all the spices to a bowl to mix, and then spread onto the meat for a delicious flavored roast. Top it off with jalapeños and onions.

Shred the Beef Roast

Cooking this in the crockpot on low for a full 8 hours will help ensure that the meat is tender and easy to shred. Remove the roast from the crockpot and shred. You will then return it to the crockpot to mix with the liquid onions and jalapeños. This makes a simple and flavorful meal.

It tastes great in so many different ways! Try it on
