Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa

Chipotle is one of my favorite places to eat. They have high quality ingredients and you can make meals that are quite nutritious and healthy. This slow cooker beef reminds me of the beef at Chipotle. It tastes great served by itself, but you can also make beef enchiladas, beef rice bowls, or beef tacos.
