Cafe Rio copycat beef

Once again thank you Pinterest for the recipe. This was so tender and delicious it was a hit at the Nielsen family home.


  • 1 chuck roast ( i used a shoulder roast and it turned out the same)
  • 1 small can of tomato sauce
  • 1 can of green enchilada sauce
  • Cumin
  • Half an onion, in slices 
  • Garlic
Put roast in crock pot with all ingredients, put sliced onions on top of the roast. They will be discarded after the roast is done. Cook on low for 8-9 hrs. (I put it in at 10 and it was done at 6:30) or until meat falls apart on its own.
Shred up meat in a large bowl; strain juices from roast. Put meat back in crock pot and a little sauce, just enough to make it juicy.
Serve in a salad or burrito.
I put a tortilla and black beans with meat in a bowl and covered it in lettuce and made my cilantro lime dressing on top with cheese, homemade guacamole, and sour cream.
Leftovers can be frozen and used for BBQ beef sandwiches.


The dressing I will post later when I figure out the measurements.
