Directions
-
Step one
Pour undrained tomatoes, brown sugar, chipotles, adobo sauce, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in blender container and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
-
Step two
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chuck roast with salt and pepper. Add chuck roast to pan and cook until deeply browned on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Pour tomato mixture over beef.
-
Step three
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until beef is very tender, 3 to 4 hours. Remove beef to a large bowl and shred with two forks.
-
Step four
Use a large spoon to skim as much of the fat off the cooking liquid as you can. Boil sauce until thickened slightly, 5 to 8 minutes. Return shredded beef to sauce and stir to coat. Serve your chipotle beef barbacoa in warm tortillas with onion, cilantro, and lime wedges!
