This Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa makes the most amazing, tender, Mexican shredded beef that is perfect for tacos, enchiladas, burritos, bowls, and more! It's spicy, it's savory, and it can be made right in the crockpot, Instant Pot, or stovetop.
Step 2
Cut the beef into 2-3 large pieces and trim off any excess fat (if trying to keep it light). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you have time or have a crockpot with a "sear" function, ser the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until it has a nice crust and is browned on all sides.
