Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • For the beef:
  • 3 lbs chuck roast avoid lean cuts
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For serving:
  • Street taco-size tortillas
  • Guacamole
  • Pickled red onions
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously season your chuck roast on all sides with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning.
  • Place the roast in a Dutch oven or baking dish. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 3 hours (or about 1 hour per pound).
  • Remove from the oven and check tenderness. If it doesn’t shred easily, return it to the oven for another 30 minutes. Once tender, shred with two forks.
  • Mix the shredded beef into the rendered fat. Turn the oven up to 425°F and roast uncovered for 10–15 minutes until the edges turn crispy and golden brown.
  • Warm your tortillas, then fill with crispy shredded beef, a scoop of guacamole, and a few pickled red onions. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy!
