Enjoy every shred of this juicy barbacoa beef packed with delicious flavors. Perfect for any day of the week!
This Barbacoa Beef was slow cooked to perfection. I prefer eating shredded beef at home because I control the fat. Most places leave chunks of fat in their shredded beef and I’m not a fan. I prefer lean shredded beef. This recipe was amazing and super easy. Yes, it takes 4 hours to cook but you’re not really doing anything.
You can definitely taste the chipotle and lime! I love that. Spice it up any way you’d like but I definitely recommend using cumin and oregano. Enjoy this with corn tortillas or grain-free tortillas. Guacamole? Raw onions? All of it. Go for it!
Just look at how juicy this looks!
