Wonderful recipe and concept! I was a bit skeptical when I first read this, because I've tried many ways (in vain I might add) to get my Salsarita's Shredded Beef burrito fix, living about 3 hours from the nearest one, every time I tried a recipe, which promised this type of meat I was craving, I was left disappointed, with soupy meat, that seemed more like stew than shredded beef, and an overall raw taste from the tomatoes the recipe called for. I can't thank Charley enough for submitting this! I made minor alterations, added just a touch of cumin, and a whole head of fresh minced garlic (what can I say, I love the stuff) along with extra cayenne, thinking nothing would be hot enough for my tastes. The first few hours, the smell from the crockpot was a little questionable, but I cooked on high for 6 hours, dropped it to low for 2, then shredded the beef. I scooped out most of the onions and peppers that were left, then folded the beef back into the liquid, which remained. This was simply heavenly! I'm ashamed to say I couldn't stop eating while I was packing it away. (I made it for the following day.) I will definitely make this recipe again! I think it'd even be fantastic with pork! Can't wait to make this again! Thanks so much Charley!

This recipe is so good. I do make a few changes though. I don't put the cayenne pepper or hot sauce in because it would be too hot for my family. Also, I prefer to roast fresh Anaheim chiles on the stove first and then dice and add to the recipe. We also prepare extra batches and freeze them (uncooked). When we're ready to cook, we just put in the crock pot on low (even frozen) until the meat falls apart. I usually buy cross-rib steaks for this recipe.

Excellent and so easy. I omitted the cayenne, used 3 pressed cloves of garlic, 1/2 tsp. cumin, and only 6 T. of Louisiana hot sauce. It comes out spicy but not overly so. I actually think this tastes better the second day, and it freezes beautifully. Oh, I also used the McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of the salt and pepper since that is basically coarsely ground salt, pepper, and garlic.

This was delicious... I used in chimichangas, which were great! The meat can also be frozen and used in a variety of dishes. I did add cumin as well.

I used this recipe for enchiladas and WOW! They were the best I ever had. The perfect balance of spices. It's as if it came straight out of an authentic mexican restaurant. This will be made in my home for now on. Looking forward to using the rest on burritos. Great recipe! Thanks.

This was really easy and had a nice spicy flavor, but somehow it just tasted like spicy pot roast to me and my husband. Wasn't bad but just not what I was looking for, but thanks for the post.

This was really good. I did make some changes though. I didn't brown the roast, just threw it in the crop-pot frozen. I cooked it on high for 4 hours and then shredded the meat and cooked it on low for a few hours. As for spices I needed to add a bit more chili powder and salt. (I didn't add as much hot sauce as in the recipe) I will make this again!

This is the BEST mexican meat i've ever made!! The only thing I do different is leave out the cayenne since hubby and I don't like things too too hot. It's perfect! I make this meat at least 3 times a month.

This is amazing! I used pork stew meat, as it was 1/2 the price of the chuck roast. As suggested by other reviewers, I added 1 tsp ground cumin and 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic, rather than the garlic powder. I used 2 large poblano peppers and 2 jalepenos. I also added 1/2 a small can of chipoltle peppers in adobo sauce, wich I minced into a paste, and 1/2 of a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes just because they were in the fridge and needed to be used. I didn't add any water as the juice that came off of the pork when I browned it seemed like enough liquid. After 3 hrs on high, I removed the meat and shredded it. It was so tender, all I had to really do was mash it with the back of a fork and it pretty much shredded. I returned the meat to the pot after skimming off the fat, and as suggested by another reviewer, added an additional 1/2 tsp of cumin and 1 tsp of parika. Simmered on low for aprox 1 1/2 hrs, then turned back up to high and simmered without the lid for aprox 45 minutes to reduce some of the liquid. Served in warm corn tortillas with sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, guacomole and pico de gallo. YUM!! Thanks charley!

this was exceptionally good. i used a 2.5 lb roast. added fresh chopped jalapeno, cumin, minced garlic, fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro. this smelled as good as it tastes. i couldn't stop myself from taste testing! i also shredded my meat after the first 3 hours on high and then put back for 3 hours on low. it soaked up all the juices nicely and the meat was super tender. oh and i also added diced potatoes. this was a wonderful and authentic mexican recipe!!

I was really excited to try this, but disappointed in the results. I made it according to the recipe the first time and all you could taste was the hot sauce (used tabasco, maybe that was the problem). Made it again and cut back on the hot sauce added cumin and some other spices and it is pretty bland. It's pretty easy, but looking for more flavor.

Wonderful! I used poblano peppers and jalapenos for the chilis and it wasn't too spicy. I also forgot to brown the meat and it turned out just fine. This is great with beans, in soups, with eggs, on salads, etc....Very versatile and delicious. My husband says that it tastes even better than what we get at our favorite restaurant. Thanks!
