INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander (I use dash each of paprika and cayenne instead)
2 lbs top round roast (I use whatever is cheapest that day)
1 tblsp olive oil
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1/2 chipotle in adobo sauce, seeded
4 cloves garlic
tortillas
DIRECTIONS:
Combine salt, chili powder, cumin, coriander and rub all over meat to coat completely. Warm olive oil in heavy skillet over medium/high heat. Sear meat on all sides, just to get some color on the meat, you do not want to cook it at this point!! Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray and place browned meat in slow cooker on low heat. Pour tomato sauce, chipotle and garlic in blender and combine. Pour over meat in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until fork tender (usually about 5/6 hrs).
TIPS:
I usually turn the meat every hr or so just to make sure it stays covered with the sauce. Instead of chipotle in adobo I use dried peppers and reconstitute them in some beef broth. I add the peppers and a couple tablespoons of the steeping liquid.
