  • Desired toppings: salsa or pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro.

Instructions

Pressure Cooker Instructioins

  • To make these in a pressure cooker, heat 1-2 tablespoons oil on the sauté setting. Trim the roast of excess fat and cut it into 1-2" slices. Mix the seasonings together and rub them all over the roast.
  • Sear the meat in the pot until it is browned on all sides. Top with onions, peppers, and tomatoes and use the manual setting to cook on high for 40 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally (don't open the valve) for 10 minutes, then release the pressure, open the pot, and shred the beef.
  • Serve in warmed tortillas with your choice of toppings--fresh onions, avocado, cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, whatever you love!

Slow Cooker Instructions

  • Season the roast all over (slicing isn't necessary, but you can if you want). Place in slow cooker. Top with onions, peppers, and tomatoes and cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 8-9 hours
    or
    start this in the morning, cook it on high until things start to boil and then cook on low until dinnertime and the meat shreds easily with two forks. Serve as desired.

Freezer Meal Instructions

  • Place tomatoes in the bottom of a freezer safe container. Place green peppers on top of tomatoes, then the seasoned roast, then the onions. When ready to cook, invert the container so the tomatoes are on top and cook 1-2 hours longer than the original recipe states.

  • Nutritional information was calculated without the use of toppings.
