I've never been to Chipotle, but I've heard it is addictingly good! This recipe is not only delicious, but is a Weight Watchers Recipe! I feel so much better about eating things when they say Weight Watchers in the title, don't you?!
This was really easy and made my house smell amazing all day! Gotta love that slow cooker!
We served it over rice
AND
We ate it in quesadillas.... in the same night!
We sure at a lot of meat, but it was so juicy and flavorful that we just couldn't stop!
Slow Cooker Chipotle's Barbacoa Beef Recipe:
(Recipe from Skinny Taste)
Servings: 9 • Serving Size: 4 oz • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 161.4 • Fat: 5.0g • Protein: 24.9 g • Carb: 2.8 g • Fiber: 0.7 g
Ingredients:
3 lbs beef eye of round or bottom round roast, all fat trimmed
5 cloves garlic
1/2 medium onion
1/2 lime, juice
2-4 chiptoles in adobo sauce
(to taste)1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground oregano
1/2 tsp ground cloves
salt and pepper
3 bay leaves
1 tsp oil
1 cup water
Directions:
Place garlic, onion, lime juice, cumin, oregano, chiptoles, cloves in a blender.
Trim all fat off meat, cut into 4 inch chunks. Season with salt and pepper and brown on high heat in 1 tsp oil. Add liquefied spices, water, bay leaves and simmer on low two hours in a pressure cooker. (If you are making this in a regular pot, you will have to double the cooking time to at least 4 hours or more, covered on low flame and add more water from time to time to make sure it doesn't dry out.)
Once cooked and the meat is tender, remove the meat and place in a dish. Shred it with two forks, and reserve the liquid for later (discard the bay leaf). Return the shredded meat to the pot, adjust salt and cumin (you may need to add more) to taste and add some of the reserved liquid back. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.
Yum! Going to have to try this one as well. You could have a complete Chipolte meal and make the Cilantro Lime Rice from her site as well. I made it last night as a side dish to chicken tacos and it was delish. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOL it's spelled Chipotle!! Recipe sounds great, we love Chipotle but it's high calorie..
ReplyDeleteLove Chipotle. It can be high calorie, but you can eat healthier there too. It all depends on what you add.
ReplyDeleteTheir barbacoa has to be my favorite meat, so I'm happy to have this one. Showed it to the hubbs, and he thinks we need to make it this next week :) Thanks for the recipe!
Ah, Chipotle's. We don't have one where I live, now, just a Freebird's (same concept...not as good). Funny thing, if you're ever in South Texas and order Barbabcoa, you'll find a nasty surprise. Barbacoa around these parts is typically cooked cow head! Not a fan : (
ReplyDeleteJust made this and posted this recipe on my blog tonight! So yummmm! Seriously good! Thanks for sharing it!

I looove Chipotle's barbacoa meat so this is a must-try for me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI can't find a way to "PIN" this dang it....I don't think I will survive....LOL
ReplyDeletecan you find the recipe for the Chipotle's Carnita Pork??? That's my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. You mention the crock pot, but the recipe calls for a pressure cooker. I'd love to make this, but only have a crock pot. Any advice on cook times for the crock pot?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know the answer to your question too!
DeleteDitto! I have both a slow cooker and a pressure cooker. I'd prefer to use the slow cooker because my pressure canner is is a huge monster.
DeleteI'm wondering the same thing. I'd love to be able to do this in the crockpot.
DeleteI made it in the crock pot and it worked great! I did not brown the meat first. Just cut it into large chunks and put it on for 5 hours on high with a cup and a half of water.
