I have had some really good red chili beef tacos at restaurants. They can be pretty expensive so I decided to make some myself. It turned out great and everyone really likes it. The added bonus is you can make enough for 12 large servings for a little more than the price of one meal of this at a restaurant.

Ingredients

• 3-5 pound Cross Rib Roast
• 2 level tablespoons of chili powder
• 1 level tablespoon of chipotle chili powder
• 1 – 2 tablespoons of New Mexico chili powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt (More can be added later if needed)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1/2 of a large onion sliced thin
• 4 large cloves garlic chopped
• Tortillas for tacos or burritos
• Fresh chopped cilantro and diced onion for topping

Directions

Cut Cross Rib Roast into about 3-4 inch chunks. Mix the next 6 ingredients in a bowl and coat the chunks of roast, and pour any remaining in the crock pot over the meat.  Sprinkle the onions and garlic over the meat chunks and cook on high for 6 to 8 hours till the meat easily shreds. Shred the meat and serve in a burrito or taco with the fresh onion and cilantro.
