Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded lettuce

- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 chopped chipotle pepper, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 2 lbs beef chuck roast to the slow cooker and pour in 1/2 cup beef broth and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking juices.
- To assemble the burritos, warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place a portion of the cooked rice, black beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla.
- Top with a generous portion of the barbacoa beef and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve the barbacoa burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
The history of the Barbacoa Burrito dates back to the indigenous people of the Caribbean and Mexico, who slow-cooked meat over an open fire, creating a tender and flavorful dish. This traditional method of cooking, combined with Spanish influences, gave rise to the modern Barbacoa Burrito. Today, this beloved dish can be found in Mexican restaurants across the United States, with regions like Texas and California known for their exceptional versions. The key to a delicious Barbacoa Burrito lies in the tender, spiced beef or lamb, slow-cooked to perfection, and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with rice, beans, and fresh salsa. For an authentic experience, seek out a restaurant with a skilled chef who honors the traditional cooking methods.
