Barbacoa Beef Walking Tacos
Servings: 10
Ingredients
  • 6 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cans (28 oz each) ro*tel® original diced tomatoes & green chilies, undrained
  • 8 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed
  • 7 3/4 cups bibb lettuce, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound shredded white Cheddar cheese
  • 4 bags (10 oz each) yellow tortilla chips
Directions
  1. In a huge bowl coat the beef on all sides with salt, cumin, chili powder, and pepper.
  2. Heat essential olive oil in a huge skillet on medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until it really is golden brown.
  3. Once it really is browned, transfer it to a slow cooker and pour in the can of RO*TEL.  Cook for 5 hours on high temperature or 8 hours over low heat.
  4. After the cooking time is up, use 2 forks to shred the beef.  Keep warm.
  5. To cook the corn, stick it on a hot grill (450° to 550°) and cook on all sides before kernels turn bright yellow and start to lightly brown, about 8 to ten minutes total.
  6. Trim the corn from the ear and reserve.
  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.
