5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes in puree
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa verde
Optional: Tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cotija, sour cream, guacamole, sliced radishes, pickled red onions, sliced jalapeno peppers, shredded lettuce, salsa, cooked rice and fresh cilantro leaves
Directions:
In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine beef and broth. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, six to eight hours. Remove meat; discard juices. When cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks. Return to slow cooker.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and jalapenos; cook and stir until softened, three to four minutes. Add garlic and seasonings; cook one minute longer. Stir in crushed tomatoes and salsa; bring to a boil. Pour mixture over shredded beef; stir to combine. Cook, covered, on high until heated through, about 1 hour.
If desired, serve filling (using tongs) on tortillas for burritos or tacos and add toppings. To make a burrito bowl, place beef on top of hot cooked rice and add topping as desired.
