Chipotle Beef Tacos – Slow cooked sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy shredded beef that is perfect for tacos!

Taco night is one of the best nights of the week. And you can really make them with just about anything! You can make your traditional ground beef tacos that just uses regular Taco Seasoning. Or you can make Instant Pot Chicken Tacos with juicy, tender chicken.

 

But this Chipotle beef is a little sweet, a little spicy, with just a bit of smoky flavor. And it takes taco night to a whole new level! And the crock pot does all the work, so it is perfect for busy weeknights!

What You’ll Need

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.

• Chuck Roast
• Chipotle in Adobo
• Pineapple Juice
• Tomato Paste
• Maple Syrup – can sub any sweetener that you like
• Salt & Pepper

Don’t worry, I get that this looks like a strange ingredient list. Maple syrup and tomato paste together? Trust me, it gives the beef such great flavor. It makes it sweet, spicy, and smoky; which is pretty ideal for taco night.

How To Make Chipotle Beef Tacos

These could not be easier to make! Even if you don’t think you know how to cook, you can make these and look like a total rock star!

1. Add the chipotle in adobo, pineapple juice, maple syrup, tomato paste, salt and pepper to a blender or food processor.
2. Process until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
3. Place the chuck roast in the base of your crock pot and pour over the pineapple juice mixture.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. You want the beef to be tender and able to break apart with a fork.
5. Remove the meat from the crock pot and use 2 forks to shred. Add it bad to the liquid and toss it to coat well.
6. Serve in tacos or however desired.

• Slow Cooker
• Mini Food Processor
• Measuring Cups & Spoons

How To Serve Chipotle Beef

This is great to turn into tacos as shown, but you can really do anything with it.

• Use on Salads
• Air Fryer Quesadilla
• Wet Burrito
• Southwest Chicken Wrap (sub for the chicken)
• Sesame Beef Noodle Bowls

Can I Use An Instant Pot

Absolutely, it will be ready in a fraction amount of time. So if you don’t want to wait all day, you can use the exact same recipe in a pressure cooker. Cut the beef into 2 inch cubes, pour the liquid sauce mixture over the top and cook under high pressure for 45 minutes. Let it release for 10 minutes naturally, before quick releasing. Then shred the meat and use as desired.

Storage

This makes a lot, so it is great to use for meal prep and have on hand for meals all week! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can reheat in the microwave or a small skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through.

Freezing – this is also a great option. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
