Cooking Tips
Enhance Your Barbacoa Experience
For a richer flavor, consider searing the beef chunks before adding them to the slow cooker. You can adjust the spice level by varying the number of chipotles used. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to three months. Try serving the barbacoa in tacos, burritos, or over rice for a delicious meal.
