🛒 Ingredients

For the Birria Roast:

• 1 Birria-seasoned chuck roast (from Aldi, usually pre-marinated)

• 1 large Vidalia onion, sliced

• 2 cans Aldi Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), with juice

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (substitute for minced garlic)

• ½ cup beef broth (Aldi brand or homemade)

Optional (for more flavor depth):

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (for brightness)

For the Toppings:

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Shredded lettuce

• Diced tomatoes

• Sour cream

• Salsa (your husband’s homemade or store-bought)

• Your favorite hot sauce

• Fresh lime wedges

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:

   • Place the sliced Vidalia onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.

   • Lay the Birria chuck roast on top of the onions.

   • Pour both cans of Rotel (with juice) over the roast.

   • Sprinkle with garlic powder (and any optional seasonings like cumin or paprika).

   • Add ½ cup beef broth to the mixture for extra moisture and flavor.

2. Cook Low and Slow:

   • Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the roast shreds easily with a fork.

   • Once done, shred the meat in the pot and stir to coat with the juices and softened veggies.

3. Assemble the Tacos:

   • Use warm taco shells, tortillas, or even lettuce wraps.

   • Spoon in the shredded Birria beef.

   • Top with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, sour cream, a spoonful of your husband’s salsa, a dash of your favorite hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime.

💡 Tips & Variations

• For crispier tacos: Fry tortillas in a pan with a little beef juice, then fill with meat and toppings.

• Add heat: Use spicy Rotel or add a diced chipotle pepper to the slow cooker.

• Leftover idea: Make Birria quesadillas or rice bowls with the remaining meat.
