Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 3.3 pound beef roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2-3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 10 corn tortillas I used white, but you can use yellow as well
  • 2 cups cooked shredded beef recipe follows
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • shredded lettuce
  • guacamole
  • non-stick spray

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix together salt, pepper, chili powder, granulated garlic, cumin and oregano.
  • Rub mixture all over beef roast to completely coat.
  • In a large pan heat olive oil. Brown roast on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Place in slow cooker. Add onion and garlic. Pour in water and beef broth. Cover and cook for 8 hours.
  • Remove from slow cooker and shred.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry each tortilla one at a time until soft, about 30 seconds per side (you want them soft so that you can roll them). Add more oil if needed. Transfer to plate using a paper towel to separate each tortilla.
  • To assemble, spoon 2 tablespoons of meat mixture into tortilla and roll closed. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all are rolled.
  • Bake in oven for 15 -20 minutes or until ends start to brown. Remove and sprinkle cheese on top. Turn oven setting to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven.
  • Top with shredded lettuce and guacamole. Serve with salsa for dipping.

Notes
