This great shredded beef dish gets nicely tender from the long cooking and makes a great filling for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and chimis. Cooks easily in your crockpot.

    WILDLY exceeded my (already very high) expectations! Hubbyman finished the recipe while I'd been kept late at work, and forgot to add the salsa to the shredded beef mixture, and it was STILL deliciously moist and flavorful. I think we'll make it that way on purpose next time to open up the possibilities even more - we had terrific beef sandwiches and awesome tacos, and I'm already envisioning the wonderful breakfast burritos and enchiladas, etc., etc., ad infinitum! THANK YOU!

    This was a very flavorful beef, very tender. I did not have adobo seasoning and am trying not to accumulate spices and herbs I use infrequently so instead I just looked at this recipe for dry adobo seasoning, "Dry Adobo Seasoning (Adobo Seco)" and used garlic, mexican oregano, cumin and a bit of saffron in the crockpot. Did everything else just as written. This is wonderful. I love it and so does husband. DS is not sold on it but he's very picky. I didn't freeze any of what I made but may do so in the future. It makes a ton.

    We had this tonight. I followed the recipe as written except the piece of beef was over 2-1/2lbs. Still turned out great! Used it in soft taco shells. Best thing was it was ready when I got home from work. Thank you!
