Try this easy slow cooker chili-lime Mexican shredded beef recipe that is easy, delicious and super popular. As with any slow cooker recipe, this is beyond easy and a great low carb option.
Preheat that beautiful cast iron skillet and grab your favorite prep dish and lets get started. For a great sear we want a super hot pan and dry beef.
Once the meat was seared, I added all of the ingredients to the slow cooker.
As you can see I am pretty organized. I learned early on it takes less time and is far less stressful to just prep before hand.
Then I added the meat and sauce to a large container (after washing it from the raw meat) and shred it to my preference.
Then serve!
Easy Slow Cooker Chili Lime Mexican Shredded Beef
This. Was. Delicious. I will definitely be adding this to my menu rotation, it was so damn good!
I served it to my friends with tortillas, I enjoyed it more as a “bowl” with my favorite toppings. You could add lettuce, avocado, whatever!
When we were done I simply popped the containers back in the fridge. I am a big fan of any recipe that tastes better the next day and makes meal prep a breeze.
