Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chuck roast and cutting it into 3-4 inch chunks. Sear the chunks in a hot skillet with oil until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Place the seared beef chunks into your Crock-Pot. Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle the spice mix over the top. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the spice blend for later. Stir gently to coat the meat.
  3. Cover the Crock-Pot and set it to low heat. Cook for 6-7 hours until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.
  4. Transfer the beef to a plate and shred it with two forks. Return to the Crock-Pot with the reserved spice blend and a splash of lime juice. Stir well.
  5. Warm your tortillas and assemble the tacos with shredded beef, inviting everyone to add their favorite toppings.
