Préparation
 

Preparation
  1. Trim the chuck roast of excess fat and cut it into manageable pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Season the roast with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Sear the roast for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for around 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  3. Pour in enough water or broth to cover the roast halfway and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it cook for 4-6 hours until fork-tender.
  5. Shred the roast in the pot, mixing in some cooking liquid to keep it moist.
Assembly
  1. Warm the tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  2. Fill each tortilla with shredded chuck roast and desired toppings.
  3. Serve immediately with your favorite beverages.

Notes et conservation

Consider marinating the chuck roast overnight for enhanced flavor. Serve with colorful platters for a stunning presentation.
