Step 1 • Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. This preparation allows for a smoother cooking process, making you the ultimate taco chef!

Step 2 • Season the Roast
Rub the chuck roast generously with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Ensure every nook and cranny receives a good coating to maximize flavor.

Step 3 • Sear the Meat
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and sear the seasoned roast on all sides until it’s beautifully browned. This step, lasting about 4–5 minutes per side, locks in flavor and gives your shredded beef a delightful crust.

Step 4 • Slow Cook or Simmer
For Slow Cooking: Place the seared meat in the slow cooker. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, and lime juice. Set it to low and let it cook for 5 hours until fork-tender.
For Stovetop Cooking: If you prefer a quicker method, place the seared roast in a large pot with the other ingredients. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for about 2 hours.

Step 5 • Shred the Beef
Once the meat is tender, remove it from the cooking vessel. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded beef to the pot to allow it to soak in juices for maximum flavor.

Step 6 • Serve and Enjoy!
Warm your tortillas on the stovetop or in the oven, then fill them with your delicious shredded beef. Top with your choice of fresh ingredients for an unforgettable taco night!
