Ingredients

Essential Ingredients:

Beef Chuck Roast (flavorful, tender cut)

Garlic (fresh cloves)

Honey (raw honey for sweetness)

BBQ Sauce (your favorite smoky BBQ sauce)

Tortillas (flour or corn)

Cilantro (fresh for garnish)

Cabbage Slaw (homemade or store-bought)

Lime (for a fresh squeeze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into smaller pieces for quicker cooking and better flavor absorption.
  2. Sear the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef pieces on all sides for about 5 minutes per side, until browned.
  3. Create the Glaze: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, honey, and BBQ sauce. Stir until well combined to create a flavorful glaze.
  4. Slow Cook the Beef: Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker and pour the glaze over it. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  5. Shred and Assemble: Once the beef is done, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker, allowing the beef to soak up more sauce. While the beef is cooking, warm your tortillas in a skillet.
  6. Add Toppings: Fill each tortilla with shredded beef, top with cabbage slaw, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos for an added zing.
  7. Serve: Serve the tacos hot and enjoy every delicious bite!

Notes

  • Protein Options: Swap beef for chicken, turkey, or plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh.
  • Spicy Kick: Add chili powder, jalapeños, or hot sauce to the glaze for more heat.
  • Toppings: Try adding avocado, diced onions, or sour cream for extra flavor.
