Slow Cooker Shredded Beef

It's too hot for stove use in my un-air conditioned apartment, and I wanted something heartier than a salad, so I went for some shredded beef tacos. I got the original recipe from a Pinterest pin, tweaked it a bit, and then ate way too many tacos for any single human being.





Slow Cooker Shredded Beef
Original recipe here 

What You Need
1 lb chuck roast or other big meaty cut o' beef. I think I actually used an oven roast something or other (I am not very good at buying meat)
1 1/2 cups g-f beef broth
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 Tbsp cumin
1/2 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
Taco shells or soft tortillas

What You Do
1. Trim as much fat as you can off of the beef cut
2. Mix together the beef broth, water, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lime juice in your slow cooker
3. Add the beef, turn to coat
4. Slow cook on low for 8-10 hours
5. Remove beef from liquid and use two forks to shred
6. Use about 1/4 cup of the liquid to ensure beef is still moist when serving
