This was so yummy. I’ve made a few barbacoa recipes and this was the easiest and most tasty. I was pressed for time and cooked it on high for 4 hours instead of low for 8. It still came out good but I would not recommend it. My mistake. The meat comes out much better slow cooked on low. Great as leftovers, too!

Hands down, my family’s favorite crockpot meal! I make several batches of the sauce/marinade at a time and freeze it with or without the beef added, so it’s crazy easy to pull out and toss in the crockpot on busy days. Our favorite use for leftovers is to spread the rice on tortilla chips, top with the beef (drained a bit) and some cheese, then popped in the oven long enough to make it nice and bubbly….YUMM!

This quickly became a family favorite, and my go-to crockpot recipe. I add a few more peppers and dribble in a smidge of the adobo to kick it up a bit. Whrn I make this, I usually mix up 3-4 batches of sauce, the freeze it with or without the beef so that it’s even easier to whip up. We enjoy this as oft tacos, in rice bowls, and especiallty as nachos (drained a bit first).

I had everything except the chipotle peppers, so I subbed a few pickled jalapenos. It was still fantastic and the smell is out of this world. I love LaurelH’s idea of making enchiladas from the leftovers. Thanks for a great recipe!

Have made this recipe twice now (once in the crock pot and once in a Dutch oven on the stove) and LOVE it! We’ve eaten it as tacos, then as quesadillas out of the leftovers once and then topped off bean tostados a second time. Definitely a new go to recipe for our family of five.

My husband loves this recipe! It also makes delicious tortas if you toast a bun and add cheese and jalapeno mayo.

I was worried about using 3 peppers as I know they are spicy, but in my opinion this meat could use a lot more kick. I’m also going to continue cooking it for awhile because it made quite a bit of liquid which soaked through our tortillas and made them fall apart. This is a good starting point, but I will need to doctor it up a little bit.

Easy to make and very flavorful. It was spicy on its own but when you add cheese and sour cream it was fine.

This was easy to put together and very flavorful. We did not find it overly spicy, so we may increase the amount of Chipotle peppers the next time we make it.
