Description
This Slow Cooker Salsa Beef recipe is a simple, flavorful dish perfect for busy days. Tender beef chuck roast is slow-cooked with salsa and taco seasoning to create a delicious shredded beef that can be served in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb. beef chuck roast
- 24 oz. jar salsa (I use Pace Picante)
- 1 oz. taco seasoning packet
- Tortillas
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole)
Instructions
- Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker, making sure it’s centered.
- Sprinkle the entire taco seasoning packet evenly over the beef to infuse flavor throughout the cooking process.
- Pour the entire jar of salsa over the roast, coating it well for moisture and additional seasoning.
- Secure the lid on your slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, allowing the beef to become very tender and easy to shred.
- Once cooked, remove the beef and shred it using two forks, discarding any excessive fat for a leaner dish.
- Lay a paper towel over the shredded beef in the slow cooker briefly to absorb excess grease, then discard the paper towel to keep servings lighter.
- Spoon the shredded salsa beef into warmed tortillas and add your favorite toppings for a delicious taco experience.
