Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasoning

  • 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Slow Cooking Liquids

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Sauce

  • 1/2 cup garlic butter (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup honey (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Taco Assembly

  • 8 to 12 soft corn or flour tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast to ensure even cooking. Season the meat generously with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder (natural), salt, and pepper. This dry rub creates a flavorful crust that will infuse each shred.
  2. Slow-cook to tenderness: Place the seasoned beef in a slow cooker or a heavy covered pot. Pour apple cider vinegar and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce over the meat. Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until the beef becomes fork-tender and shreds easily.
  3. Make the garlic butter honey BBQ sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the garlic butter (plant-based) over medium heat. Stir in honey (natural), smoked paprika, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until the sauce is glossy and well combined.
  4. Shred and coat the beef: Remove the cooked beef and shred it using two forks. Toss the shredded beef thoroughly in the warm garlic butter honey BBQ sauce to evenly coat every strand with flavorful sauce.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Warm the tortillas until soft and pliable. Spoon generous portions of the coated beef onto each tortilla. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose chuck roast or brisket for the best slow-cooked tender beef.
  • Cook on low and slow to allow flavors to deeply infuse and meat to become tender.
  • Let the beef rest briefly after cooking to lock in the juices before shredding.
  • Add fresh cilantro and lime just before serving to brighten flavors.
  • Warm tortillas to enhance flexibility and flavor.
