Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs beef rump roast

Preparation

Step 1

1.Trim beef of any excess fat. Place in the slow cooker. Slice half the onion lengthwise into strips and add to the slow cooker with the beef.

2.In a blender, add diced tomatoes, garlic, the other half of the onion, lime juice, cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes, cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Pulse to blend a few times until consistency is smooth and everything is incorporated. Pour the tomato mixture over the beef and onions.

3.Set slow cooker to low and cook for 7 hours.

4.Turn on your broiler. Once cooking is done, shred the beef with two forks. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to an oven proof dish, and broil the meat for 5 minutes to get it crispy. While beef is broiling, toast up corn tortillas and prepare your garnishes.

5.Remove beef from the broiler, serve with tortillas and garnishes and enjoy!
