| Chipotle's Copycat Barbacoa SERVES 12 | ACTIVE TIME 15 Min | TOTAL TIME 6 Hours 15 Min | |
| 2 teaspoons | kosher salt, divided |
| 3-4 pound | chuck roast, fat trimmed |
| 2 tablespoons | extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 | bay leaves |
| Sauce | |
| ¼ cup | apple cider vinegar |
| 6 cloves | garlic |
| 4 teaspoons | ground cumin |
| 1 tablespoon | dried oregano |
| 1 teaspoons | ground black pepper |
| 1/8 teaspoon | ground clove |
| 4 chipotle peppers (from a can, packed in adobo sauce) | |
| 1 tablespoon | adobo sauce, (from the chipotle pepper can) |
| 1 cup | chicken broth, (or 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon chicken base) |
| ¼ cup | fresh lime juice |
Prepare roast. Make sure all visible fat is trimmed. Cut into 8 chunks. Sprinkle all sides of cut beef with ½ of the salt (1 teaspoon), reserving the remaining 1 teaspoon. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor combine the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Set aside. If you do not have a food processor or blender, see cook’s note.
Warm a heavy bottom pot over medium high heat, until water dripped over top sizzles. Add oil. Sear all sides of cut beef. Once all sides are seared, place seared beef into slow cooker. Set slow cooker temperature to high. Pour sauce over top. Add bay leaves. Cook for 5-6 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) covered.
After about 5 hours (or 7 hours on low) shred beef using 2 forks to pull it apart. Stir to completely coat in sauce, cover and cook for 1 more hour. After this time you can serve and enjoy or turn slow cooker to warm until ready to serve.
To create burrito: Layer* pico de gallo, Chipotle’s Copycat Cilantro Lime Rice and Chipotle’s Copycat Barbacoa on a large flour tortilla. Additional toppings of Chipotle’s Copycat Guacamole, sour cream and cheddar cheese are also exceptional.
*Cook’s note: to prepare the sauce without a blender, mince the garlic and chipotle peppers. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.
