Barbacoa Beef Walking Tacos

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed
  • 1 head Bibb lettuce, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces shredded white Cheddar cheese
  • 2 (10 ounce) bags yellow tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl coat the beef on all sides with the salt, cumin, chili powder and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until it is golden brown.
  3. Once it is browned, transfer it to a slow cooker and pour in the can of RO*TEL. Cook for 5 hours on HIGH or for 8 hours on LOW.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, use 2 forks to shred the beef. Keep warm.
  5. To cook the corn, place it directly on a hot grill (450 degrees to 550 degrees F) and cook on all sides until the kernels turn bright yellow and begin to lightly brown, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
  6. Trim the corn off of the ear and set aside.
  7. Place 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of shredded barbacoa beef over some tortilla chips and garnish with grilled corn, shredded lettuce and shredded white Cheddar cheese.

Notes

Cook's Tip: To add moisture to the barbacoa walking tacos, add a dollop of sour cream and/or some of the cooking liquid from the slow cooked barbacoa beef.
