Ingredients: 

  • 5 pounds of shredded beef
  • ½ cup broth
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • ⅛ tablespoon salt (pinch)
  • 1 can tomatoes
  • Salsa 
  • Tortillas 
  • Cooked brown rice

Directions

:1.)  In a 6-qt. slow cooker, combine beef and broth. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6-8 hours. Remove meat; discard juices. When cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks. Return to slow cooker

2.) In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and jalapenos; cook and stir until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and seasonings; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in crushed tomatoes and salsa; bring to a boil. Pour mixture over shredded beef; stir to combine. Cook, covered, on high until heated through, about 1 hour.

3.) If desired, serve the filling (using tongs) on tortillas for burritos or tacos and add toppings. To make a burrito bowl, place beef on top of hot cooked rice and add topping as desired.
