Crock Pot Chipotle Beef Barbacoa

A tender juicy Spicy Chipotle Beef Barbacoa made in a crock pot to make dinner life easier!

Does anyone else get really bad migraines? They are just miserable right?

Over the past two weeks I have had a migraine 7 of those days!! {thats 50% of the time people} I thought I finally got rid of it on Friday and it came back again Sunday with vengeance and now I still have it. Ughh… relief please!

All that to say.. I’m gonna keep this post short and sweet because I’m not feeling great and this Crock Pot Chipotle Beef Barbacoa is so good it really doesn’t need a lot of adjectives to prep it up.

I mean… look at it..

Its juicy, spicy, citrusy, beefy, herby, tender, dreamy, easy, and good with anything you put it on. {like how I slipped all those adjectives in there.. hehe}

Plus, everybody could use an extra Crock Pot recipe right?

If you are not about THE BEEF and want to “Eat More Chick’n” then check out my 20 Healthy Chicken Recipes post from Monday. I promise you’ll be glad you did.

But if you would like to enter into the world of beefy tender juicy spicy deliciousness then … enter here and enjoy the ride! {for your safety please be sure to keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times} Yeah, not sure what that was about, just go with it. 🙂

To get started, lightly blend together 4 chipotle peppers from a can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, 2 tablespoons of adobe sauce, 1 bunch of cilantro, 1 red onion peeled and quartered, 1 whole head of garlic {peeled} and cloves smashed, 2 teaspoons of ground clove, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, the juice of 4 limes, and 1/2 cup of cider vinegar.

Pour mixture on the bottom of  slow cooker. Place the brisket on top of this mixture.

Add 3 1/2 cups of chicken stock to cover the meat and place 5 dry bay leaves on top. Use tongs to move the meat around gently to combine everything. Put the lid on.

Cook on HIGH 5 -5.5 hours. Use two forks to shred.

Place shredded beef in large bowl and ladle cooking liquid over the top a few scoops at a time. You want the meat to hold the liquid but not swim in it.
