Made With

Directions

  1. Combine salt, cumin, coriander, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle on all sides of the beef roast and rub into the meat.
  2. Heat oil in the slow cooker on the sauté setting if your machine has that function. If not, oil in a heavy bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Add roast and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
  3. Transfer to the slow cooker if you used a frying pan, otherwise, add remaining Jalapeño Shredded Beef ingredients to the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4.
  4. Meanwhile, make the Mango-Citrus Salsa. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Taste and add more lime juice or salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. When beef is ready, shred meat with two forks and mix back into the sauce. Keep warm in the slow cooker. Serve with Mango-Citrus salsa, warm tortillas, and all the garnishes your heart desires.
