Slow-Cooker Barbacoa

    OK, folks, After reading thee reviews, I had to comment. Some are expecting it to be more spicy. Except from a Chipotle Grill, which is Cal-Mex, I've NEVER had a spicy barbacoa. And Chipotle adds enough cumin to drown other flavours, IMHO. Barbacoa is mild in flavour, as is most "taco fillings" I've had And I've eaten TONS! :- My roast is currently defrosting, but I plan on trying this recipe tomorrow, as the ingredients look like it'll taste just like the stuff I had from a taqueria I miss, that was run from a delightful couple from Juarez.

    Slow-Cooker Barbacoa, This is a Northern Mexican recipe that is adapted from a recipe by Rick Bayless. This uses a chuck roast and is made in the crock pot. My DBF asks me to make this again and again. Serve it with rice, sour cream, beans, and warmed tortillas., OK, folks, After reading thee reviews, I had to comment. Some are expecting it to be more spicy. Except from a Chipotle Grill, which is Cal-Mex, I’ve NEVER had a spicy barbacoa. And Chipotle adds enough cumin to drown other flavours, IMHO.

My house smelled wonderful, and the taste was to die for. My family could not get enough. Only had a small amount leftover and took it to work. It smelled so good, everyone wanted to try it. I had to guard it with my life. This is a keeper. I’ll be making this again, & again. Thanks for sharing.
