Slow Cooked Beef Barbacoa Recipe

1. Tip the chipotle paste, garlic, red onion, cloves, lime juice, oregano and cider vinegar into the slow cooker and mix until combined. Add in the bay leaves, beef stock and coriander, then put the bad boy brisket in.
2. Roll the brisket around in the sauce to ensure every side has at least some coating.
3. Plug your slow cooker in and put the lid on (Crucial step!). Cook on the High setting for an initial 1 hour and then turn that puppy to Low for 8 hours.
4. After the 8 hour mark, the beef should fall apart and you can use 2 forks to shred the beef. After your done shredding, leave the beef to cook for a final 15 minutes in the sauce.
5. Serve the beef in some tortillas with some cracking homemade guacamole and sour cream.
