Beef broth1.5 cups
Black beans1.5 cups

Method

1

Trim excess fat from beef chuck roast and cut into 3-4 inch chunks. Roughly chop onions and mince garlic.

2

Place beef chunks in slow cooker. Add cumin, oregano, minced garlic, and chopped onion.

3

Pour in beef broth and lime juice. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until beef shreds easily with a fork.

4

Remove beef with tongs and shred between two forks. Discard large onion pieces and return shredded beef to the slow cooker to absorb remaining liquid.

5

Cook rice according to package directions. Heat beans in a saucepan until warm, about 5 minutes. Dice bell peppers and measure corn.

6

Divide cooked rice evenly among serving bowls. Top each with warm black beans, shredded barbacoa beef, diced bell pepper, and corn.

7

Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced red onion, and lime wedges. Serve with salsa and avocado slices on the side if desired.
