Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil

  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) chuck roast, or more to taste

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, or more to taste

  • 1 cup salsa, divided

  • 4 (15 ounce) packages slider-size burger buns

Toppings (optional):

  • 2 avocados, diced

  • ½ cup sliced black olives

  • 3 medium jalapeno peppers, sliced

  • ½ cup Mexican crema, or to taste

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Directions

  1. Melt butter and grapeseed oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cut roast into 3 equal pieces and season with taco seasoning. Sear roast on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.

  2. Pour 1/2 cup salsa in the bottom of a slow cooker. Transfer roast to slow cooker and top with remaining salsa.

  3. Cook until meat is fork-tender, 8 hours on Low or 6 hours on High. Remove from slow cooker and shred beef with 2 forks.

  4. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  5. Toast slider buns under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, making sure not to burn them.

  6. Place about 1/4 cup shredded beef onto each slider bun and top with avocados, olives, jalapenos, crema, and cheese.

Cook's Note:

Leftover beef can be used for nachos or quesadillas.
